Oracle gets high marks when it comes to performance, reliability, and scalability. Building and deploying your PHP applications on Oracle database enables you to combine the power and robustness of Oracle and the ease of use, short development time, and high performance of PHP. By using both of these technologies in a complementary way, you will be able to:

• Move key business logic of your application to the data
• Protect your application against data loss
• Take advantage of Oracle security technologies
• Leverage the power of object-oriented technology
• Build transactional applications
• Develop robust XML-enabled applications

All these capabilities make using PHP in conjunction with Oracle a natural choice when it comes to developing mission-critical, highly secure data-driven web applications.
