Egads, man! Don't do it! ;)
Seriously, though...the ISAPI module with IIS has been notoriously buggy to
date. A few people on the list have had success with Win2000, PHP4 isapi and
IIS5. If someone wants to pipe up feel free.
Otherwise, I've gotten plenty of performance out of the cgi route. I mean
plenty, as in blow the doors off of .asp plenty. Going with .asp and Oracle
via ODBC will be insanely slow. .ASP has never really managed to attain
PHP-like speeds. The Oracle ODBC drivers (MSoft and Oracle versions) are
both major bottlenecks. This is experience talkin'. A client of mine has me
hitting Oracle via ODBC. Ei yi yi! Not good.
Plus, if you could include some specifics about the setup (Win version, IIS
version, etc...) someone might have run into your situation before. Info
never hurts. :)

Plogon? As in:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ora-plogon.php
Why start up Apache to do that when you can hit it via php cgi?

Nope. Double check your function's code. There might be something in there
that's gumming up the works. If you don't see anything wrong with it drop it
out to list.
Hope this helps,
