Hello, I need to access an oracle database from php. The server is running php 5.2.5, then I downloaded the source package used to compile this version. I downloaded also oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm and oracle-instantclient11.1-devel-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm After some time tewaking with ./configure of php, I managed to compile with ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient I want to compile oci8 as shared library so I can continue using the same binaries and only add a .so to the extensions directory, but I has a problem now. When starting, php reports this error: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'oci8.so' in Unknown on line 0 Checking the mailing lists I read this problema may be due to an incorrect version of the extension, but it has been compiled with the same sources version that phpinfo() reports (5.2.5). I will appreciate any ideas of how to check now.

Hello I have done this job succesfully with php-5.2.{6,7,8,9,10} on debian-lenny. root@server:/# rpm -iv oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm root@server:/# rpm -iv oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm When i compile php, i run .configure -with-other-options --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib Then you must add this: root@server:/etc/ld.so.conf.d# cat oracle.conf /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib Then run: ldconfig -v Note you will have ton install libaio, too. HTH Patrick ps: i run php in cgi mode.

Changing ld.so.conf.d might cause all Oracle applications on the machine to use the same Instant Client. This is generally OK, but if you don't want it, you could instead set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting Apache. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html Also see "Setting Oracle Environment Variables for Apache" on p106 of http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/underground-php-oracle-manual.pdf Installing OCI8 as a shared library makes it easy to upgrade. With PHP 5.2, I strongly recommend using the latest OCI8 1.3 from http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 Regarding installation of OCI8 as a shared library, there shouldn't be any need to tweak configure scripts.
