Your first order of business is installing Oracle. Getting it running on Debian is going to be.. interesting. Also note that this is a completely unsupported configuration.
If you can get Oracle working, I would suggest use Perl + DBD::Oracle, this is a more mature (not to mention easier-to-install) setup than using PHP. For your testing application, a simple app which connects and then does SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL should be enough. Another option is to use the JDBC type-4 driver. This is a thin driver, so you don't need to install the bloatware Oracle client on your Debian box anymore. Your test program will have to be a Java program though and you would need the JDK on the machine. Still a much less painful task than installing Oracle. On 3/28/07, Mark Anthony C.
