Oracle announced on Wednesday the enhancement and preview release of an upgraded Oracle Call Interface (OCI8) driver for PHP.

The enhanced driver allows for server-side connection pooling across multiple web servers, which Oracle hopes will bring increased scalability, availability and compatibility.

Existing PHP applications will be able to take advantage of the new connection pooling without changing any code.

John Deeb, senior director of product management at Oracle, said: "OCI8 gives the open-source community access to the 11g database for PHP development."

"The need to scale the number of users that can be online at any point in time accessing all kinds of data has increased significantly, and so has the reliance on technologies like PHP," Deeb added.

This contribution is the latest in a relationship between Oracle and PHP that stretches back for over three years.
