[Centos] install PHP OCI8 extension

Installing the extension to connect to oracle database on CentOS server.

In the command lines can be specified word <VERSION> – please replace the with version number.

This solution assumed installed apache and php on the server.

We can download packages from oracle sites (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html)

We will download RPM for this packages:

oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-&lt;VERSION&gt;. x86_64.rpm
instantclient11.2-oracle-devel-&lt;VERSION&gt;. x86_64.rpm

1 2	oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-<VERSION>. x86_64.rpm instantclient11.2-oracle-devel-<VERSION>. x86_64.rpm

And we can install this on server:

rpm-Uvh oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-&lt;VERSION&gt;. x86_64.rpm
rpm-Uvh oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-&lt;VERSION&gt;. x86_64.rpm

1 2	rpm-Uvh oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-<VERSION>. x86_64.rpm rpm-Uvh oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-<VERSION>. x86_64.rpm

If everything went ok, we can write to the configuration file:

echo /usr/include/oracle/&lt;VERSION&gt;/client/lib/ &gt; <br />/etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle_client.conf

1	echo /usr/include/oracle/<VERSION>/client/lib/ > <br />/etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle_client.conf

Now we can run, and check the VERSION:

ldconfig-v

1	ldconfig-v

Install OCI8 (download and compilation)

Now we need the OCI8 extension. It can be downloaded from the web pecl.php (http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8) and unpack on disk drive.

tar -xzvf oci-&lt;VERSION&gt;.tgz
cd oci-&lt;VERSION&gt;

1 2	tar -xzvf oci-<VERSION>.tgz cd oci-<VERSION>

We can switch to package folder and run:

phpize

phpize

If we find that it is not supported in the system, you can install:

yum -y install php-devel

1	yum -y install php-devel

and start again

phpize

phpize

then run:

configure -with-oci8=shared,instantclient,<br />/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib/

1	configure -with-oci8=shared,instantclient,<br />/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib/

which we will configure and run

make 
make install

1 2	make make install

Unless the system compiler, install the GCC:

yum install gcc

1	yum install gcc

Install OCI8 (pecl install)

The second option is to install with PECL:

pecl install oci8

1	pecl install oci8

and write the configuration:

echo extension=oci8.so &gt; /etc/php.d/oci8.ini

1	echo extension=oci8.so > /etc/php.d/oci8.ini

restart apache server:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

1	/etc/init.d/httpd restart
