An Introduction to the MaxDB PHP Interface The article presents an introduction to working with the PHP interface from MaxDB. It is intended for PHP users and developers already familiar with the use of PHP extensions and, perhaps, with MaxDB itself. This article tells you what you need to install MaxDB PHP, how you can use its features and how you can convert your MySQL applications to MaxDB PHP. PHP applications of all types and sizes are being built using the Oracle database. Using the free Oracle Express Edition (XE) and the equally free SQL Developer or JDeveloper, getting up and going with Oracle has never been more accessible--or cheaper! Whether you are building a prototype, or a business critical PHP application the initial step to using all that database technology is to connect to it. The choice of connection method and how you manage database connections in the PHP application can have a dramatic effect on performance. So here we will explore the ways in which you can connect to an Oracle database from your PHP application, including the types of Oracle connections, environment variables and semantics of each connection method. Finally we will take a look at scalability of PHP applications and the Oracle connection pooling approach speci cally developed to increase performance of multi-process clients such as PHP.
