oData and PHP without control of the server

Question

B"H

Is there a way to query oData from PHP without needing to change the php.ini? i.e. if I only have permission to upload files into the public web directory, and I do not have a shell account to run the scripts to generate the proxy classes, is there a way I can use curl directly to query an oData database?

Or could I use only part of the SDK to simplify authentication and such? but skip the proxy classes and build by query url directly?
