You don't have to use the OCI libraries if you use ODBC.
Compiling PHP --with-iodbc as per the HOWTO at www.iodbc.org will get
you started.
Non-expiring ODBC drivers with a 2-connection license are available as a
free download from http://www.openlinksw.com. Free support is also
available if you encounter problems.
