Oracle
Synopsis
PHP includes two separate Oracle extensions—one for accessing Oracle 7 and earlier databases and one for accessing Oracle 7 and Oracle 8 databases through the Oracle 8 Call-Interface (OCI8). The OCI8 extension is the more full-featured extension and should be used in preference to the older Oracle extension , when possible.
To access Oracle databases with PHP, you must install the
appropriate Oracle client libraries and compile PHP with the
--with-oci8[
=DIR ]
directive. If you are using Oracle 7 or earlier, compile PHP with
the --with-oracle[
=DIR ]
directive instead.
