These functions allow you to access Oracle8 and Oracle7 databases. It uses the Oracle8 Call-Interface (OCI8). You will need the Oracle8 client libraries to use this driver.

This driver is more flexible that the normal PHP3 Ora_ driver. It supports binding of global and local PHP3 variables to Oracle placeholders, has full LOB, FILE and ROWID support and allows you to use user-supplied define variables.
