Is there any way to connect to Oracle?

Hi 

Do you know if exists  NLM for PHP on Netware 6.5 to connect to Oracle.

Into the php.ini, we can find all the DLLs for Windows  (php_oracle.dll 
and php_oci8.dll) ,   but we don't have those kind of NLM's on NetWare.
Is there any other opportunity connect to Oracle via PHP on NetWare?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Artur

I tried to build these NLMs, but since the oracle client NLMs are clib-based 
all that these extensions do is abending once you use them...
however there are two other ways which might work:
- using the odbtp extension
this is a client extension which connects to a service running on Win32 which 
itself connects to an ODBC driver; its developed in first place for using 
with MsSQL server, but it might work with Oracle too - I've though never 
tested that.
- using UCS/UCX framework. Novell provides a php2ucs extension which has a 
database layer; here you can find a sample:
