SV: [PHP-DB] oci8 client libraries

Hi Mark! Could you compile php without any problems? I mean it was a lot of messing around with headerfiles on my solaris8! I reinstalled oracle client with oci8 (custom installation) on my sun sparc and I had to move all oci files from $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/public and still there was missing nzt.h headerfile and I found it under $ORACLE_HOME/network/public After that I could make a php4 module for apache. But my apache answered with the same error message "symbol OCIEnvInit ..." So I decided to go for worse solution and install odbc on my server.

I didnt believe them and decided to try it out ( again ). I used Linux ( Redhat 6.1) + 8i Release 8.1.6 and did install->client->developer The resulting beast was 160M ( not too bad - could shrink it by deleting bin/* ) and ( I was surprised ) I could compile Php4.0.0 ( --withn-oci8 ) ( and also DBD-Oracle-1.0.3 ) ok I guess someone at Oracle has been listening to our complaining after all.... ( I am sure that 8.0.5 did not offer this sort of option, and suspect 8.1.5 did not either - but I cannot remember...)
