Oracle and PHP
According to this article at OTN Oracle are planning on shipping PHP with Oracle Application Server 10g. As someone who has developed applications using PL/SQL server pages (over five years ago now) I'm glad to see that the people from Redwood Shores have embraced fully fledged web technologies rather than trying to bend a database access language into a web presentation layer. I've already got PHP talking to Oracle on my laptop (via Apache) but having it available in the application server opens up lots of possibilities in Oracle centric sites - especially those running Oracle Applications.

I couldn't see any mention in the article of PHP being available in Oracle's application server - as far as I could see Oracle are effectively just blessing the current practice of using it with Apache.

"In upcoming releases of Oracle Application Server 10g, Oracle plans to bump up this support further, including PHP on the release CDs and integrating it further with other Oracle products."
Its not something that Oracle do, shipping third party products with theirs. I'm hoping this is indicative of a shift to a more open, collaborative approach from them.

If nothing else it's furthering the spread and adoptation of PHP, when I really wish Python was spreading like this...
