I find the whole concept of "oracle home" a nightmare.
Reguardless of my opinion, the main difference between oracle homes is the
location of executable files and the location of the TnsNames.ora file.
The PHP_OCI8 module is mostly just a client network interface.
As long as the PATH environment variable points to the appropriate set of
executables, all seems to work well, reguardless. The rest is more or less
fluff.
However, setting the path can be a bit of a confusing issue with windows nt
running the webserver as a service.
The most viable solution may be to setup another 586 with linux running
PHP/webservices. Is there any reason the same box must be both db server
and webserver?
