PHP and Oracle using a thin driver

Is there a thin driver for Oracle available to be used with PHP (for example as an extension)?

I cannot install the OCI driver/client, but need to be able to access an Oracle database.

Solution

  • What is the problem with installing the OCI driver ? The InstantClient version simply requires an unzip and setting a couple of environment variables.

    The other option is exposing the database functionality through web services. 11g includes an inbuilt HTTP server.
