Hey jonina. Yeh.... i kinda missed you. I guess Alex did too
Ok, i know that you know how to do such things using MySQL. With Oracle is almost the same thing.
Of course, php functions for that are different.
Not sure if you're facing some problem, but you can get easy with the examples at the manual.

Somehow i can't/couldn't post the code for you so i've emailed it to you (hotmail account).
Check it and give it a try... hope it helps.

Hello gesf,
I've been working with mysql for not so much time but now i'm trying to work with oracle. I'm using xampp and install oracle9i. I ommit the comments on oci8.dll from php.ini but whenever I want to connect to oracle using oci_connect/OCILogon, i got a a message "Call of undefined function oci_connect/OCILogon". I visit many web sites and try searching the solution but can't get the real solution. Can u plz help me on this topic.
Thanks.

Wait a second, has it been THAT long since Jona been here? Geez :-( im so disappointed.. And time sure flies by fast..
Jona is the only person i would kind of allow writing in all-caps. Anyways, for future reference (even thou it has been some time since this post), about all DB engines:

Most of them are Strict SQL compliant, with minor differences.
If you would use PDO for accessing databases, this will make the job of changing between different DB engines a matter of changing the driver (one string in configuration )
