PHP Progress

Hello,

sorry for my English, I'm french

I'm using Progress 9.1E database (character mode, not GUI)

I need to connect my Progress database to an Oracle database.

People who are in charge of the Oracle database have started programming in PHP, I have access to their database with PHP through a JDBC driver.
Now, i need a driver to connect the Progress database with php.

But i don't know which driver i must use : merant, datadirect, openlink ?

I read that the performance was really bad with PHP through an ODBC driver, is this true ? If someone has already tried ?

Do you think a migration to the OpenEdge version can help me ?

Thanks for your help
 
My english is not the better, I´m Mexican.
I worked in a Company that used Merant and Open Link, the ODBC is not the best option but if you want a recomendation I prefer Open Link, only has a little inconvenient , is expensive.
I had been looking a good solution to connect PHP with Progress , but only exist a ODBC connection, its a shame.
 
The driver ODBC/DataDirect is buid in Progress v.9.1E, you can use it, but be attention to the SQL
sysntax read with attention the Progress SQL documentation because Progress SQL is litte bit different.
Another way to execute SQL against the Progress database, and if the PHP application is on the
same server with Progress, you can use the progress tool "sqlexp" and a PHP exec system command.
