Ahmed, Since you already have the Oracle client installed, I am assuming you can connect to the Oracle instance using sqlplus. If this is in fact the case, all you have to do is recompile PHP and add in the following line to your configure statement:
with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2 \ Of course, your path would be different as it should point to the location of your Oracle client installation.
