 ====== Using the Oracle driver in PHP ======
+===== students.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu =====
+----
+The students.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu server still needs the Oracle driver installed and tested.
+Once it is operational, the code to use it is a bit different from the same code in Java.
+==== PHP Example Connection ====
+Here is a small example to connect to the Oracle database from PHP, be sure to replace 'username', 'password' and 'query' with your own.
+<code>
+<?php
+// The connection string is loooooooong. It's easiest to copy/paste this line. Remember to replace 'username' and 'password'!
+$conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=db1.chpc.ndsu.nodak.edu)(Port=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=cs)))');
+// Put your query in here
+$query = '';
+$stid = oci_parse($conn,$query);
+oci_execute($stid,OCI_DEFAULT);
+// Iterate through each row
+while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid,OCI_ASSOC))
+{
+   // Iterate through each item in the row and echo it
+   foreach ($row as $item)
+   {
+      echo $item.' ';
+   }
+   echo '<br/>';
+}
+oci_free_statement($stid);
+oci_close($conn);
+?>
