Chris Jones and Allison Holloway both posted recently that Oracle has released a new version of the The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual.
Chris says that there are more than 50 pages of new content and gives the following list of highlights.
- Updated the versions of software in the install steps. Show how to use the Windows MSI installer. Added a section on upgrading OCI8 in PHP4. Added a section on enabling PDO.
- Updated the SQL Developer section (thanks to Sue Harper).
- Improved and extended the examples. Many more can now be cut-and-pasted and run standalone.
- Added new connection performance tips.
- Show how to retrieve PL/SQL “success with information” errors.
- Added a section on testing.
- Added a chapter mapping PHP 4 to PHP 5 function names.
- Added a chapter on mapping ora_* to oci_* function names
I think Allison pointed out the best feature of this cool manual when she said.
So go get it now. Did I mention it’s free?
I reviewed this manual last year and in looking over the latest version, I haven’t changed my opinion. This is a great book for PHP developers who want to learn how to work with Oracle.
