Hello, I need to access an oracle database from php. The server is running php 5.2.5, then I downloaded the source package used to compile this version.
I downloaded also oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm and oracle-instantclient11.1-devel-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm After some time tewaking with ./configure of php, I managed to compile with ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient I want to compile oci8 as shared library so I can continue using the same binaries and only add a .so to the extensions directory, but I has a problem now. When starting, php reports this error: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'oci8.so' in Unknown on line 0 Checking the mailing lists I read this problema may be due to an incorrect version of the extension, but it has been compiled with the same sources version that phpinfo() reports (5.2.5). I will appreciate any ideas of how to check now.
