manual install PECL OCI8 package

For a manual install, download the PECL OCI8 package, e.g. oci8-1.3.5.tgz.

 

• Extract the package:

   

  tar -zxf oci8-1.3.5.tgz
  cd oci8-1.3.5
  

• Prepare the package:

   

  phpize
  

• Configure the package, either using $ORACLE_HOME or Instant Client

   

  ./configure -with-oci8=shared,$ORACLE_HOME
  

  or

   

  ./configure -with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/path/to/instant/client/lib
  

• Install the package:

   

  make install
  

After either an automatic or manual install, edit your php.ini file and add the line:

 

extension=oci8.so

Make sure the php.ini directive extension_dir is set to the directory that oci8.so was installed in.
