These are the steps to install pdo_oci ¶

From: http://lacot.org/ and me.

~$ > sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-cli php5-xdebug php5-memcache php5-mcrypt php5-imagick php5-gd php5-xsl subversion imagemagick unzip htop memcached

~$ > sudo apt-get install php5-dev ~$ > sudo apt-get install php-pear

Install the libraries from "Oracle Instant Client" Go to the site and download:

1. Oracle instant client basic 10.2.0.4, file zip

2. Oracle instant client sdk 10.2.0.4, file zip

Put both files in /tmp

~$ > cd /tmp/

~$ > unzip oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1.i386.zip

~$ > mv instantclient_10_2 /opt/

~$ > unzip oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.4-1.i386.zip

~$ > mv instantclient_10_2/sdk /opt/instantclient_10_2/

~$ > export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/instantclient_10_2/

~$ > ln -s /opt/instantclient_10_2/libclntsh.so.10.1 /opt/instantclient_10_2/libclntsh.so

~$ > ln -s /opt/instantclient_10_2/libocci.so.10.1 /opt/instantclient_10_2/libocci.so

~$ > ln -s /opt/instantclient_10_2/ /opt/instantclient_10_2/lib

~$ > pecl download pdo PDO_OCI OCI8

~$ > tar xzvf PDO-1.0.3.tgz (the version can vary)

~$ > tar xzvf oci8-1.4.1.tgz

~$ > tar xzvf PDO_OCI-1.0.tgz

install "re2c 0.12.0 or later". i've done wiht the package manager, but I think is something like

~$ > apt-get install re2c

~$ > cd PDO-1.0.3

~$ > phpize

~$ > ./configure

~$ > make

~$ > sudo make install

~$ > cd ../oci8-1.4.1

~$ > phpize

~$ > ./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,/opt/instantclient_10_2/

~$ > make

~$ > sudo make install

~$ > cd ../PDO_OCI-1.0

~$ > cp /opt/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include/*.h .

~$ > phpize

~$ > ./configure

~$ > make

~$ > sudo make install

And then, you can verify with: ¶

<?php   phpinfo(); ?> 

After that, you can configure the connection in config/main.php

'db'=> array(
'class'=> 'CDbConnection',
'connectionString'=> 'oci:dbname=10.XX.XX.XX/xe', 
'username'=> 'USER_NAME',
'password'=> 'your_passsword'
), 

And, if some error of this style appears: ¶

exception 'CDbException' with message 'CDbCommand failed to execute the SQL statement: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 942 OCIStmtExecute: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist (/tmp/PDO_OCI-1.0/oci_statement.c:142)

is because of that: Bug 20/04/10

others errors ¶

configure: error: Cannot find php_pdo_driver.h.

~$ > cd /usr/include

~$ > sudo ln -s php5 php

You are done!!!
