This is an explanation of how to compile php 5, Ubuntu 6.06, in order to connect to Oracle database

I guess we have installed apache2 but it ran well on a console

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

We add to our list of repositories repository oracle, edit the file / etc / apt / sources.list and add the following line

deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free

Then install the Oracle XE client.

$ sudo apt-get install oracle-xe-client
We set the variable $ ORACLE_HOME

$ export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client/

We position ourselves in the / usr / src

$ cd /usr/src

We obtain the source code for PHP 5

$ sudo apt-get source php5

Install the Flex parser

$ sudo apt-get install flex

and development package apache2 that we need in the process of compilation.

$ sudo apt-get install apache2-dev

we position ourselves within the directory containing the source code of php 5 we went down (currently version 5.1.2).

$ cd /usr/src/php5-5.1.2/

Devido that when trying to compile with gcc 4 tube problems we chose to install add gcc 3.4

$ apt-get install gcc-3.4

replace the symbolic link from / usr / bin / gcc

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc

Create a new symbolic link to the version of gcc we need.

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc

It is time to run the configure script.

$sudo ./configure --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2

lugo compile and install.
make & make install

Next we have to do is configure the apache to process php.

edit the file / etc/apache2/apache2.conf and uncomment the following lines (by removing the # from the start)

# AddType application / x-httpd-php. Php
# AddType application / x-httpd-php-source. Phps

Then just restart the apache is

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

With this we have compiled our php to connect to an oracle database.
