Reinstalled openssl in 64bit with shared libs, libiconv and added zlib. Now everything ran fine. I still have other questions (not related to php install) about how to add oci as module. Where can I ask such things?

You can install it from PECL, you can build it with PHP (statically or as shared extension). Both ways should suit your needs. But you need to have installed Oracle database client, or at least Instant client on your server. Eugene.

Using PECL as a shared extension is currently the best plan for OCI8 because of the release schedules/statuses of the PHP branches and of OCI8. Using PECL will let you easily update OCI8 to the latest versions as they are released. For example, the OCI8 2.0 extension (which is in 'developer' preview on PECL) is not likely to be merged back to the PHP 5.4 code bundles, even though it works with PHP 5.x.
