Lets begin
A. Use PHP RPMs packages
1. Install Apache if not installed
2. Download Oracle Client Software -- if you are using GUI
or download Oracle InstantClient BasicLite (the rpm version) -- I choose this and install it.
to get latest version download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html
my copy of Oracle Instant Client BasicLite is here
http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
3. Install PHP and makesure you installed php-oci8 module, other modules you can install it if you like
I am not using CentOS version because it's not provide oci8 module. But I am using PHP from Miracle Linux - Asianux which also look-like Redhat derivatives distro. They provide complete PHP module including oci8.
Download it from my mirror here.

4. Create local variable to connect to Oracle, for NLS_LANG you can set with your locale.
5. Update linux Library thingy... (locate the oracle library if you use differrent version)
6. (Re-)Start the Apache
B. Use your current PHP version from CentOS
If you already install your PHP and don't want to replace it with older version and/or your current version of PHP didn't provide php-oci8 packages you can install it using the following steps

http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
2. Configure linux library thingie...
# ldconfig
3. Install oci8 via pear
Make sure you already install php-devel package (and have upgrade to latest version)
My copy of oci8 is here
http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oci8-1.2.3.tgz
4. Enable oci8
5. (Re-)Start the Apache
Just want to make sure if your php is already configure with oci8 module create a php file with phpinfo() function
Create phpinfo file
View phpinfo. http://yourserver/phpinfo.php

CODE:
# echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/bin/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf

Make sure you already install php-devel package (and have upgrade to latest version)
CODE:
# cd /usr/local/src
# pear download oci8
# tar xzf oci8-1.2.3.tgz
# cd oci8-1.2.3
# phpize
# ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/

# ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/
# make
# make install
My copy of oci8 is here
http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oci8-1.2.3.tgz
4. Enable oci8
CODE:
# vi /etc/php.d/oci8.ini
; Enable oci8 extention module
extension=oci8.so
# vi /etc/php.d/oci8.ini
; Enable oci8 extention module
extension=oci8.so
5. (Re-)Start the Apache
CODE:
# service httpd restart
# service httpd restart
Just want to make sure if your php is already configure with oci8 module create a php file with phpinfo() function
Create phpinfo file
CODE:
# vi /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
< ?php phpinfo() ?>
# vi /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
< ?php phpinfo() ?>
View phpinfo. http://yourserver/phpinfo.php
You should see something like this
