title: How to connect an oracle 11g database and php
body: <p>I'm working on a university assignment where I am trying to work with PHP and Oracle 11g database. I've downloaded Oracle 11g in to my PC, and I'm actually accessing the databases I made at university I am also able to use the service name, hostname and SID set by my university.
  However, what I'm slightly puzzled by is how can I work with Oracle database and PHP? I have XAMP installed in my PC which enables me to work with MySQL and PHP, but was wondering If I can also use this with oracle.
  Thanks</p>
