There is no php in Oracle... period! But there is another option, you could create an external library (say, using GNU gcc) to invoke php, then register the library and wrapper in Oracle and invoke it from pl/sql. You could use pipes to avoid doing file i/o. The drawback is you app will become platform-dependent.
