First you have to compile PHP with OCI. Then you'll have to change the way you
execute your queries, I'm affraid ; read about the OCI functions in your PHP

I'm not sure if you can develop your application under WIN98 - there is only
Oracle Personal Edition available for this platform, and I don't know if you can
connect to it from PHP. Never tried this...
