php with oci8 nightmare

mariogomide · 01-31-2006, 06:07 AM

Hi there!

I'm trying to get php to work with oci8, but my php instalation is 4.3.2 and someone installed it from the cd. My Oracle database is located on another server, but I coul install it on the same computer.

What do I do to install php-oci8 on my Red Hat ES 3 system?

I found one package, but it required php 4.3.9 and RedHat EL4, so... no good.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I suggest simply rebuilding whatever version of PHP you want (probably PHP 4.x) from source. Just get a SRPM for whatever 4.x PHP release you desire and follow the instructions here.
