I use
Firefox Browser 3.0.4
Oracle 11g1
Fedora 9
oci8
php 5.2.6
Apache 2

the php programs under the apache server does database operations

I have yet to try the Oracle server:

did you download 11g1 Oracle server

do you have the link or startup instructions?

I may have the Oracle server in my 11g1

You mean APEX? Well yes, it can, but that is a rather troublesome exercise, specific to the OS. On Linux, you would need to link PHP5 module manually. It is also rather pointless as PL/SQL and PHP cannot communicate. There is no way to see and address the objects in APEX from PHP. It would be handy, I admit, but it just isn't possible. The main use for that would be to interface with the OS.

thanks but I have no idea what apex is!

Do you mean the Oracle HTTP Server that shipped with Oracle 10g? It's on the companion CD for that release. Another alternative is the Oracle Application Server, but rumor has it that's problematic.

Oracle changed it when they released Oracle 11g, they renamed it as the XML DB. Oracle 10g Express Edition shipped with the XML DB installed and configured to run APEX (Application Express - more or less the old HTMLDB development platform). I don't know if you can configure it to run PHP 5.x but you probably can do it.

Unknowns but thoughts:

1. You'll need to configure access to libraries by using the ENV property in the SID_LIST_CALLOUT_LISTENER in your listener.ora file. It lets you have access to external libraries. XML DB (an Oracle HTTP Server is built in the database) will need to callout to the library because I've not seen a way to include the library (but there may be a way to do it).
2. You use the DMBS_EPG package to set parameters in the equivalent of the httpd.conf file (you create that with the @?/rdbms/admin/epgstat.sql script).
3. You can probably put the PHP files into CLOB columns and wrap reading of those by using a PL/SQL package.
4. I don't think it's supported.

Hope this helps ...

Thanks for the info...I'll look at it today!

I signed up for Apex and found that the sql files that ran well under 11g1 (Windows and Fedora 9)

DO NOT run under apex! A person on this forum told me that apex would only accept 1 sql statement at a time!

I have a long sql script that I use to evaluate RDBs.

This script makes it easy to load a table since sql is usually universal!

Yes I could use a loader but the formatting would be a beast!

I forgot where it was but I encountered an Oracle facility where the ";"s had to be removed.
WHEW!

Does OAS=APEX? isomorphically?

Accessing a 11g1 table is simple with PHP...

I have a browser/php program that works on XP Prof SP3 IIS5,1 or Fedora 9 Apache 2.2

XML is prob the universal "language" I need.

PHP 5.2.6 through

XP Prof IIS 5.1

OR

Fedora 9 Apache 2.2

handles stored procedures PL/SQL

You are misinformed: Oracle Apex has the ability to run scripts. After logging in, navigate to SQL Workshop -> SQL Scripts. See page 37 of the current (1.5) version of http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/underground-php-oracle-manual.pdf for screen shots.
