I don't use PHP, but 30sec with Google came up with ADOdb.

thanks Dave, but that's wayyy too complex for me. i have a piece of PHP code as a starting point which i need to modify into a login/ authenticate page (has to speak to the database).. the stuff i've been given to use is really basic and not very secure so it isn't what the 'real world' implements and that's why i can't really find any relevant online tutorials!

thanks though!

As far as I know, PHP requires you to use a library to access any database other than MySQL. Please feel free to correct me on this.

BTW, PEAR is another abstraction layer, and comes bundled with PHP.

Yeah, kinda.

Anyways, check out this page. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php

Also, http://www.phpbuilder.com is a great site.

Please understand that if you don't follow some of the more basic security principles that you are going to get hacked. It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. I ran a website for an online gaming guild that had "Webmail" for its members and I ended up in trouble with my ISP for sending 40k emails. Needless to say I fixed the problem, but even small sites get targeted.

There may already be a program designed to do what you want to do!
