I'd guess you probably need this in apache's start up script, not in php (where that is on a mac setup I have no idea). You could also try it in your virtual host: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_env.html#setenv SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instanceclient
I agree that using putenv() for Environment variables in scripts is bad. On Mac, I think you need DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
