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.
