This topic was already covered on php-db, and here's the original post, my
reply, and the original author's comments as well.  HTH.

This is correct.  If you are using the CVS version of PHP then it will
auto-detect the Oracle 9i libraries if you configure with "--with-oci8"
as one of your options.  If you are using PHP 4.0.6 then you can
download a patch for PHP at http://www.cba.ua.edu/~spaff/ to allow it to
do the same thing.  Oracle didn't really change anything in their API
between 8.0.7.1 and 9, they just changed the names of the libraries to
go along with the new version number so the PHP oci8 functions work.
