I am not familiar with Oracle, but by looking through the PHP docs, it
appears that you can't connect remotely to an Oracle server...
Am I wrong about this, or is it a limitation of the Oracle library, or
is Oracle not built to allow remote connections?

If...
-you have PHP installed,
-AND you have Oracle support compiled in to that install,
-AND you have connection info (username/password/hostname) for an
account
on that Oracle system that has been granted access to vendor prices,
-AND you know how to use PHP's Oracle functions,
-AND you know how to query an Oracle database
...then you're set. Whether they have PHP installed or not is
irrelevant.
