Hello

I have done this job succesfully with php-5.2.{6,7,8,9,10} on debian-lenny.

root@server:/# rpm -iv oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm 
root@server:/# rpm -iv oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm

When i compile php, i run .configure -with-other-options 
--with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib

Then you must add this:

root@server:/etc/ld.so.conf.d# cat oracle.conf
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib

Then run: ldconfig -v

Note you will have ton install libaio, too.

ps: i run php in cgi mode.
