Hi guys!! I'm just getting back into harness after 4 months off work
following major surgery, so I'm well behind on all the PHP groups. It's
nice to be back!
Forgive me for responding to this one over a month later, but I haven't seen
anybody else pointing this out:

Actually, no it doesn't. If you're using Oracle 8i or later, you should be
using the OCI extension (http://php.net/oci8). The Oracle extension uses an
older protocol for versions up to Oracle 7, and is now pretty much obsolete
-- whilst it will work, more or less, with later versions, it's less
efficient and doesn't support many of the features that OCI does.
Cheers!
