Enabling the PHP OCI8 Extension on Linux
To build PHP and OCI8:
1.
Download the Apache HTTPD Server if you decide not to use your default package. Download the PHP 5.2 source code.
Install PHP and Apache following Installation on Unix systems in the PHP manual.
At this stage, don't configure the OCI8 extension.
Check that PHP is working before continuing.
2.
Download the Basic and the SDK Instant Client packages from the OTN Instant Client page. Either the zip file or RPMs can be used.
Install the RPMs as the root user:
rpm -Uvh oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh oracle-instantclient11.1-devel-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm
The first RPM puts the Oracle libraries in /usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client/lib and the second creates headers in /usr/include/oracle/11.1/client
If using the zip files, the SDK should unzipped to the same directory as the basic package, and a symbolic link created:
ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so
3.
The latest OCI8 1.3 extension from PECL supercedes the default version in the PHP 5.2 source code. This can be downloaded manually and installed with:
pecl install oci8-1.3.5.tgz
Or the latest production package can be automatically downloaded and installed:
pecl install oci8
This gives:
downloading oci8-1.3.5.tgz ...
Starting to download oci8-1.3.5.tgz (137,987 bytes)
.....done: 137,987 bytes
10 source files, building
running: phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20041225
Zend Module Api No: 20060613
Zend Extension Api No: 220060519
1. Please provide the path to the ORACLE_HOME directory.
Use 'instantclient,/path/to/instant/client/lib' if you're compiling with Oracle Instant Client : autodetect
1-1, 'all', 'abort', or Enter to continue:
If you have the Instant Client RPMs, hit Enter and PECL will automatically locate the RPMs and build and install an oci8.so shared library.
If you have the Instant Client zip files, or have multiple versions of the Instant Client RPMs installed then explicitly give the path:
*
Enter 1 to update the first (and only) setting. The OCI8 configuration prompt will then be shown:
Please provide the path to the ORACLE_HOME directory. Use 'instantclient,/path/to/instant/client/lib'
if you're compiling with Oracle Instant Client [autodetect] :
*
Enter the path, such as:
instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client/lib
or:
instantclient,/your/path/to/instantclient_11_1
Do not use any environment variable names, because the PECL installer doesn't expand variables.
*
You will get reprompted 1-1, 'all', 'abort', or Enter to continue. As it says, press Enter to continue. PECL will build and install an oci8.so shared library.
4.
Edit php.ini and confirm extension_dir points to the directory the oci8.so file was installed into.
Also in php.ini, enable the OCI8 extension with:
extension=oci8.so
5.
Add the directory with Instant Client to /etc/ld.so.conf, or manually set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client/lib and restart Apache.
It is important to set all Oracle environment variables before starting Apache. A script helps do that:
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo Starting Apache
/usr/sbin/apachectl start
This script can contain desired Oracle globalization language environment variables such as NLS_LANG. If nothing is set, a default local environment will be assumed. See An Overview on Globalizing Oracle PHP Applications for more details.
Verifying the Extension is Installed
To check the extension is configured, create a simple PHP script phpinfo.php in the Apache document root:
Load the script into a browser using the appropriate URL, e.g. "http://localhost/phpinfo.php". The browser page will contain an "oci8" section saying "OCI8 Support enabled".
The OCI8 options that can be configured in your php.ini file are shown.
Connecting to Oracle
Oracle authentication and database information is passed to oci_connect() to create a connection. Tools linked with Instant Client are always "remote" from any database server and an Oracle Net connection identifier must be used along with a username and password. The connection information is likely to be well known for established Oracle databases. With new systems the information is given by the Oracle installation program when the database is set up. The installer should have configured Oracle Net and created a service name.
There are several ways to pass the connection information to PHP. This example uses Oracle's Easy Connect syntax to connect to the HR schema in the MYDB database service running on mymachine. No tnsnames.ora or other Oracle Network file is needed:
$c = oci_connect('hr', 'hr_password', '//mymachine.mydomain/MYDB');
See Oracle's Using the Easy Connect Naming Method documentation for the Easy Connect syntax.
In new databases the demonstration schemas such as the HR user may need to be unlocked and given a password. This may be done in SQL*Plus by connecting as the SYSTEM user and executing the statement:
ALTER USER username IDENTIFIED BY new_password ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
Using Oracle
Try out a simple script, testoci.php. Modify the connection details to suit your database and load it in a browser. This example lists all tables owned by the user HR:
\n";
}
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>
Troubleshooting
Check the Apache error log file for startup errors.
Temporarily set display_error=On in php.ini so script errors are displayed.
Chapter 9 of The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual contains some common connection errors.
Oracle's SQL*Plus command line tool can be downloaded from the Instant Client page to help resolve environment and connection problems.
Check the environment used by SQL*Plus is the same as shown by phpinfo.php.
Windows Help
If the phpinfo.php script does not produce an "oci8" section saying "OCI8 Support enabled", verify that extension=php_oci8_11g.dll is uncommented in php.ini.
If PATH is set incorrectly or the Oracle libraries cannot be found, starting Apache will give an alert: "The dynamic link library OCI.dll could not be found in the specified path." The Environment section of the phpinfo() page will show the values of PATH and the Oracle variables actually being used by PHP.
If php.ini's extension_dir directive is not correct, Apache startup will give an alert: "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library php_oci8.dll."
Linux Help
If using Instant Client zip files, make sure the two packages are unzipped at the same time. Make sure a symbolic link libclntsh.so points to libclntsh.so.11.1
Set all required Oracle environment variables in the shell that starts Apache.
Installing Oracle, PHP, and Apache on Linux
Let's walk through the steps required to install the Oracle Database, Apache HTTP Server, and PHP as an Apache module on Linux. Check out the OTN Linux Technology Center to see what versions of Linux are certified for use with the Oracle Database. We will be using Oracle Enterpise Linux for this example.
Software Requirements:
Software | Version | URL |
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition | 10.2 | http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/ |
Apache HTTP Server | 2.0 | http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi |
PHP Hypertext Processor | 5.2 | http://www.php.net/downloads/ |
Installing Oracle
You have a choice here. You may either install the database locally on this Linux machine, or you may decide to use an Oracle server located on another machine on your network. If your database is remote, jump to the article on Installing PHP and the Oracle Instant Client for Linux and Windows.
Otherwise, if this is your first time with Oracle, installing the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition only takes a few minutes. Download the Express Edition (commonly known as "XE") RPM package, log in as root and run:
# rpm -ivh oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
After the software package is installed on the machine, configure a database by running this and answering its four questions:
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
For Debian users, a .deb file is also available.
Starting and Stopping OracleOracle XE will be running after installation. You can test it by opening your browser to the Database home page http://localhost:8080/apex. Use the username "SYSTEM" and the password you chose during installation.
Note: You may need to replace "localhost" with the IP address 127.0.0.1 or your machine's DNS name if you are behind a firewall or if localhost does not resolve for some other reason.
If you need to restart the database at any time use the Start Database and Stop Database items on the operating system's "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" menu. To run these you will need to add yourself to the operating system "dba" group and re-login to the machine.
Alternatively you can call the oracle-xe script as the root user:
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
To restart:
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe startInstalling Apache HTTP Server
Now that the Oracle Database is installed, you should install Apache. You must install Apache before you can install PHP, since PHP will be installed into Apache.
If you don't want to mess about compiling Apache or PHP, Oracle has pre-built PHP RPM packages that use the default Apache package.
If your operating system doesn't already have Apache, download httpd-2.0.63.tar.bz2 from the Apache web site, log in as the root user and execute these commands:# tar -jxvf httpd-2.0.58.tar.bz2
# cd httpd-2.0.58
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so
# make
# make install
When configuring the web server, the option "--enable-module=so" allows PHP to be compiled as a Dynamic Shared Object (DSO). Also, the "--prefix=" option sets where Apache will be installed during the command "make install"
If you are familiar with the tar command on UNIX systems, you may be wondering why we did not need to invoke bunzip2 to extract the tar file. Linux includes the GNU version of tar which has a new 'j' flag to automatically uncompress a bzipped tar file. If you downloaded the gzipped file you could have used the 'z' flag instead.
Note: With Apache 2 you should use the default pre-fork MPM ("Multi-Processing Module") because many of the PHP extentions are not known to be thread-safe.
Starting and Stopping Apache
Start and stop Apache with the apachectl script:
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
You should test that Apache is up and running on your machine by opening your web browser to http://localhost/.
Now stop Apache so it can be configured for PHP:
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
On Oracle Enterprise Linux, the apachectl script for the default Apache package is /usr/sbin/apachectl.
Installing PHPTo build PHP yourself, download the file php-5.2.9.tar.bz2 from the PHP downloads page.
Installation Steps
-
Log in as the root user and execute these commands:
# tar -jxvf php-5.2.9.tar.bz2
# cd php-5.2.9
# export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
# ./configure \
--with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf \
--enable-sigchild
# make
# make installNote: if you are behind a firewall, you may need to set the environment variable http_proxy to your proxy server before running make install. This enables PHP's PEAR components to be installed.
-
Copy PHP's supplied initialization file:
# cp php.ini-recommended /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini
For testing it is helpful to edit php.ini and set display_errors to On so you see any problems in your code.
-
Edit Apache's configuration file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and add the following lines:
#
# This next section will call PHP for .php, .phtml, and .phps files
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
#
# This is the directory containing php.ini
#
PHPIniDir "/usr/local/apache/conf"If a LoadModule line was not already inserted by the PHP install, add it too:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
Restart the Apache HTTP Server
You must now restart the Apache Server so that you can test your PHP installation.
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Note: If you are using Oracle 10.2 but not the Express Edition, you must give the "nobody" user access to the Oracle directory. With Oracle 10.2.0.2 there is a script $ORACLE_HOME/install/changePerm.sh to do this.
If there are errors, they will display on your screen. They may also be recorded in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log. If you have problems, double check your httpd.conf and php.ini, and make corrections.
When you start Apache, you must at least have ORACLE_HOME defined. Any other required Oracle environment variables must be set before Apache starts too. These are the same variables set by the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle_env.sh or the /usr/local/bin/oraenv scripts.
To simplify things, you may create a script to start Apache. I did this and named it start_apache:
#!/bin/shTesting Apache and PHP with Oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
export ORACLE_HOME
echo "Oracle Home: $ORACLE_HOME"
echo Starting Apache
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Testing PHP with Oracle is easy. You simply need to place a PHP file into your htdocs directory; normally /usr/local/apache/htdocs.
Here are two files, the first is used to test basic PHP installation. Open it in a browser with http://localhost/phpinfo.php. If PHP is installed you should see a large page full of PHP configuration information.
phpinfo.phpCheck there is a section titled "oci8".
oci8test.php
The second file will display name and salary columns from the EMPLOYEES table owned by the HR user. This requires the HR schema be installed otherwise you will need to modify the script. The HR schema comes with Oracle XE. You can unlock access and set a password using the Adminstration section of the Database home page.
For Oracle XE the database connection string is simply "127.0.0.1/XE". If you are not using Oracle XE then change the connection string (third parameter) to the Oracle Net entry for your database.
Oracle PHP Test ";
echo "\n"; Oracle PHP Test
";
echo "\n
";\n"; \n";
echo "Name \nSalary \n
for ($i = 0; $i < $nrows; $i++ ) { echo "\n"; \n";
echo "" . $results["LAST_NAME"][$i] . " ";
echo "$" . number_format($results["SALARY"][$i], 2). " ";
echo "
}
echo "Number of Rows: $nrows
echo "
If you see data, then it works!

/usr/xpg4/bin/vedit [-|-s] [-l] [-L] [-R] [-r[filename]] [-S] [-ttag] [-v] [-V] [-x] [-wn] [-C] [+command | -c command] filename...
DESCRIPTION
vi (visual) is a display-oriented text editor based on an underlying line editor ex. It is possible to use the command mode of ex from within vi and to use the command mode of vi from within ex. The visual commands are described on this manual page; how to set options (like automatically numbering lines and automatically starting a new output line when you type carriage return) and all ex line editor commands are described on the ex(1) manual page.
When using vi, changes you make to the file are reflected in what you see on your terminal screen. The position of the cursor on the screen indicates the position within the file.
The view invocation is the same as vi except that the readonly flag is set.
The vedit invocation is intended for beginners. It is the same as vi except that the report flag is set to 1, the showmode and novice flags are set, and magic is turned off. These defaults make it easier to learn how to use vi.
OPTIONS
- - | -s
-
Suppress all interactive user feedback. This is useful when processing editor scripts.
- -C
-
Encryption option; same as the -x option, except that vi simulates the C command of ex. The C command is like the X command of ex, except that all text read in is assumed to have been encrypted.
- -l
-
Set up for editing LISP programs.
- -L
-
List the name of all files saved as the result of an editor or system crash.
- -r filename
-
Edit filename after an editor or system crash. (Recovers the version of filename that was in the buffer when the crash occurred.)
- -R
-
Readonly mode; the readonly flag is set, preventing accidental overwriting of the file.
- -S
-
This option is used in conjunction with the -t tag option to tell vi that the tags file may not be sorted and that, if the binary search (which relies on a sorted tags file) for tag fails to find it, the much slower linear search should also be done. Since the linear search is slow, users of large tags files should ensure that the tags files are sorted rather than use this flag. Creation of tags files normally produces sorted tags files. See ctags(1) for more information on tags files.
- -t tag
-
Edit the file containing the tag, tag, and position the editor at its definition.
- -v
-
Start up in display editing state using vi. You can achieve the same effect by simply typing the vi command itself.
- -V
-
Verbose. When ex commands are read by means of standard input, the input will be echoed to standard error. This may be useful when processing ex commands within shell scripts.
- -wn
-
Set the default window size to n. This is useful when using the editor over a slow speed line.
- -x
-
Encryption option; when used, vi simulates the X command of ex and prompts the user for a key. This key is used to encrypt and decrypt text using the algorithm of the crypt command. The X command makes an educated guess to determine whether text read in is encrypted or not. The temporary buffer file is encrypted also, using a transformed version of the key typed in for the -x option. If an empty encryption key is entered (that is, if the return key is pressed right after the prompt), the file will not be encrypted. This is a good way to decrypt a file erroneously encrypted with a mistyped encryption key, such as a backspace or undo key.
- +command | -c command
-
Begin editing by executing the specified editor command (usually a search or positioning command).
Invocation Options
The following invocation options are interpreted by vi (previously documented options are discussed in the NOTES section of this manual page):
/usr/xpg4/bin/vi
If both the -t tag and the -c command options are given, the -t tag option will be processed first. That is, the file containing tag is selected by -t and then the command is executed.
OPERANDS
- filename

vi Modes
Sample commands
In the descriptions, CR stands for carriage return and ESC stands for the escape key.
Counts before vi commands
Numbers may be typed as a prefix to some commands. They are interpreted in one of these ways:
Interrupting, canceling
File manipulation
In general, any ex or ed command (such as substitute or global) may be typed, preceded by a colon and followed by a carriage return.
Positioning within file
Adjusting the screen
Marking and returning
Line positioning
Character positioning
Words, sentences, paragraphs
Corrections during insert
Insert and replace
Operators
Operators are followed by a cursor motion and affect all text that would have been moved over. For example, since w moves over a word, dw deletes the word that would be moved over. Double the operator, for example dd, to affect whole lines.
Miscellaneous Operations
Yank and Put
Put inserts the text most recently deleted or yanked; however, if a buffer is named (using the ASCII lower-case letters a - z), the text in that buffer is put instead.
Undo, Redo, Retrieve
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of vi and view when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 231 bytes).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of vi: LC_CTYPE, LC_TIME, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
FILES
