Help with SL Server PHP and Oracle ?

Question

(my apologies for post to wrong forum first)
I'm attempting to add oci8/instantclient to the "out-of-the-box" php distribution w/o recompiling (if at all possible)
have installed instantclient in /usr/local
installed oci8 from pecl and built w/instantclient
I THINK my main issue is adding the DYLIB- envt variables because I cannot find a reference to the required XML syntax
Has anyone got this bad boy working?

Answer 1

Assuming you installed the Oracle Instant Client correctly, then try this as root (or issue sudo -s before):
mkdir -p /SourceCache
cd /SourceCache
curl -O http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/apachemod_php/apache_modphp-53/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
tar xjf php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
cd /SourceCache/php-5.3.0/ext/oci8
phpize
MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET=10.6 CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bindatload" ./configure
make
make install
When done, edit/create /etc/php.ini and add:
extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/oci8.so
next issue:
sudo apachectl graceful
with a little luck you are all set.
HTH,
