Overview

The OCI8 extension for Oracle Database can be linked with Oracle's client libraries called “Oracle Instant Client”.

Installation

  1. Download the Oracle 10gR2 Instant Client “basic” and “sdk” zip files from Oracle.
  2. Unzip the “basic” package and rename the directory as lib/instantclient
  3. Unzip the “sdk” package and rename the directory as include/instantclient
  4. Build with the --with-oci8 option, e.g. --with-oci8=shared. You can also pass the Instant Client path, for example --with-oci8=F:\instantclient_10_2\sdk,shared
  5. Move the generated php_oci8.dll to the extensions directory and edit php.ini, setting extension_dir to that path. Enable the extension in php.ini with extension=php_oci8.dll

Getting Instant Client

Instant Client is free and has a permissive license.
