Yes, SSL works fine with FM 6. It shouldn't make any difference with  
your PHP pages whether you're using FM 8 or FM 6, I should think; I've  
used SSL with FM 5 and 6 many times over the years.

As to Oracle, here's the choice:
FileMaker Server 8 Advanced, $2500 + the cost of hardware...
Oracle + hardware: megabucks

You should point out to him that some very large corporations use FM  
and PHP-powered web apps; we've worked with some very large companies  
here and in Canada, including hospitals, universities, store chains,  
etc.
