My memory of how to do this gets really fuzzy now. I remeber having to set up enviroment variables like ORA_HOME, and creating a file ("sid"?) with the connection string. It's not that it's real hard to do this, just that I have very little Oracle experience, and I was given this as a task about 18 months ago when our sysadmin quit. There's quite a few steps involved in this, and I'm sure that since you're doing this on OS X, there is going to be alot less help out there for you.
Okay, I babbled, and don't think I really helped. Maybe these URL's will help...

Hi all,
I am working on PHP project with a MySQL backend. However, we would like update the MySQL database periodically with an Oracle database not on our server. What should I do to interface with Oracle? Do I need to install anything on our server (OS X Server running Apache)?
Thanks for any help,
Chris
