[PHP] PHP and Oracle resources
Well, I've been given the joyous task of implementing the DaveTV project at CBS via PHP, using Oracle as a database. I've never used Oracle before. Looking at the PHP functions for Oracle, and having heard about it in the past, it seems like quite a different approach than any SQL database I've ever used. I still don't get the whole point of cursor objects, etc. :-) It would all be pretty hilarious if it weren't so real, and with a big fat deadline looming smack for the end of February. To get to the point: Anyone have any good PHP Oracle tutorials, resources, books, etc, to point me to? EVERYTHING I see is MySQL, MySQL, MySQL, and all I get for Oracle are lists of unexplained PHP function calls. Just point me in the right direction. I can walk there myself. Thanks for the help.
