The PDO\_OCI Extension
======================

[](#the-pdo_oci-extension)

Use the PDO\_OCI extension to access Oracle Database via PHP Data Objects (PDO) APIs.

This repository is for PHP 8.3+ as it [was decided to unbundle](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/unbundle_imap_pspell_oci8)PDO OCI / OCI8 extension from the PHP source code.

Documentation is at [https://www.php.net/pdo\_oci](https://www.php.net/pdo_oci)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

**PECL**

The PDO\_OCI extension is available in the PECL repository [here](https://pecl.php.net/package/PDO_OCI).

Use `pecl install pdo_oci` to install for PHP 8.3 and newer versions.

For older PHP versions, use php\_pdo\_oci.dll from the Windows PHP release bundle, or build from the PHP source code by running:

```
phpize
./configure --with-pdo_oci=shared,instantclient,/path/to/instant/client/sdk
make install

```

To complete installation, add "extension=pdo\_oci.so" or "extension=php\_pdo\_oci.dll" (Windows) to your php.ini file.

**PIE**

The PHP OCI8 extension is also available in the PIE Packagist repository [here](https://packagist.org/packages/pecl/pdo_oci).

To install from PIE, use the [pie](https://github.com/php/pie/releases) utility and run:

```
pie install pecl/pdo_oci

```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

To run the tests, see [tests/README.md](tests/README.md).

Additional Requirements
-----------------------

[](#additional-requirements)

The PDO\_OCI extension can be linked with Oracle Client libraries from Oracle Database 11.2 or later. These libraries are found in your database installation, or in the free Oracle Instant Client packages from .

Install the 'Basic' or 'Basic Light' Instant Client package for running applications with this extension. If building from source, then also install the Instant Client SDK package.

Oracle's standard cross-version connectivity applies. For example, PHP PDO\_OCI linked with Instant Client 19c can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 onward. See Oracle's note "Oracle Client / Server Interoperability Support" (ID 207303.1) for details.

PHP is available from .
