PHP-Apache-RedHat8 to use remote Oracle8i (8.1.5) database

106541

I am using PHP- Apache server in a RedHat 8 environment.
I want to create queries using this configuration in a remote Oracle8i (8.1.5.) database hosted by RS6000 AIX machine. What should I do? Thanks.

Set up an Oracle Net listener on the machine with the DB. The machine
running PHP needs local Oracle client libraries installed. The PHP
connection call (OCILogon or ADOdb's $db->Connect) simply specifies
the Oracle Net connection identifier (a.k.a. TNS alias) for the DB.

Schematically the data flow looks something like:

PHP OCI calls -> Oracle client libraries -> Oracle Net across the
network -> Oracle Net listener -> Oracle DB
