Configuring PHP to use in Oracle

PHP can be built using libraries to use in ORACLE and be created in GUI. This is mainly referred to as ORACLE_HOME installation. You can built it free using the oracle instant client and install as a zip file then ensure it is not in ORACLE_HOME environment. Another way to do it is by installing the PHP extenstions statically combined in the PHP executables or even built as sharing binary. If you follow the option of building as binaries then you have to ensure you load it into PHP as a result of setting php.ini.options, when you do this it helps in ensuring you do not affect the other PHPs. At least one of this ways will help you sort your troubles.
