| You'll have to install and rebuild the PHP source RPMs. If you're using Red Hat's RHN service, you can do the following to build the Oracle bits of PHP. As root:
up2date --get --download --src php rpm -Uvh /var/spool/up2date/php-4.3.9-3.12.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
You should have a file called php.spec in that directory. You should now be able to rebuild PHP RPMs with Oracle support using the following command:
rpmbuild -bb --clean --rm{source,spec} --define oracle=1 php.spec
There might be dependencies that you'll need to manually install to get a complete build. Once you get a good build, you should be able to get Oracle support by installing the php-oci8 RPM in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. Restart Apache at that point and you're golden.
Good luck!

Technically I should just be able to recompile php --with-oci8-instant-client=[dir] and set the environment variables, right?

Subject: Re: [MLUG] installing oracle instant client I haven't enabled this patch previously, but a few notes on this - check the version numbers of PHP you're trying to install. It may not be necessary. Actually, I just looked at the php.net site and the packages have DEFINITELY been updated to a much newer version than is on the tutorial. Keep in mind, if you're doing RPM files, this may all be different. I'm not sure what version of the RPM's, etc. you're using, but I generally do source installs for php/apache/tomcat/oracle rather than use RPM's due to said issues. -- /--------------------------------------|---------------------------\ | Jason McIntosh | CELL: 573-424-7612 | | Webmaster, thinker, programmer, etc. | WORK: 573-884-3865 | |------------------------------------------------------------------| |"How should I know if it works?

I’m having some trouble getting the OCI8 extention for PHP working. I’ve tried following this: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html (scroll down to “Enabling the PHP OCI8 Extension on Linux”) but it seems I don’t have the directory to apply the patch they are talking about. Has anyone done this and could help? We’re running RHEL4. Thanks, University of Missouri-Columbia
