xfedex, yes you can connect to a remote Oracle DB, I'm doing for an app
I'm trying to write. You have to configure php with the oracle version
you have, more than likely with the --with-oci8=/u1/oracle/product/10g
line, of course your oracle location will differ.

I chose to use the PEAR::DB to do my oracle stuff instead of the oci calls.
This made it simple, and easy to read for me as I'm still learning.
The code looks cleaner also.
