looks like best option is to install oracle7-client from port and use it with PHP from port too. However, as oracle client is based on 7, newer functions does not seems to be avilable.
OR you can install linux emulator and install oracle client with linux emulation. james h -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Loren M.

I'm using a client app to access an oracle 8i database myself. I'm using unixODBC on freebsd which the oracle 9i libraries from the oracle website and the oracle driver from www.easysoft.com which allows unixodbc apps to use the oracle driver. I'm not using mod_php4, but I'm pretty sure it can use unixodbc once that's setup. There is allow a native oracle driver for php, but I don't know anything about it.
