The mail asking me to write for Technet from John Alphonse from Oracle actually pointed me to the one of the newer features of Oracle. PHP Support in Oracle – finally… after years of JSPs, Java Classes and some really crazy things like all those XML/XSL processors that Steve Munch built (I really enjoyed building a whole web application in ORACLE XSQL back in 2000 ) ... what a funny time it was when XSLT and XML and web services were really hot and new… :-) today it's just mainstream technology used by Amazon, Ebay, Google et.al.

However – the most obvious and probably most widely used web script language PHP is supported in the Oracle database (RDBMS) now.

to be precise AFAIK they implemented a PHP-client adapter to use Oracle-Calls and OCI directly from within PHP scripts or pages, this does not mean, that you can implement the stored procedures in PHP vs. PL/SQL vs. Java …

some useful resources:
