oci8 2.0.5

Extension for Oracle Database


The OCI8 extension lets you access Oracle Database.

Use 'pecl install oci8' to install for PHP 8.2.

Use 'pecl install oci8-3.2.1' to install for PHP 8.1.

Use 'pecl install oci8-3.0.1' to install for PHP 8.0.

Use 'pecl install oci8-2.2.0' to install for PHP 7.

The current OCI8 extension can be linked with Oracle Client libraries from Oracle Database 11.2 or later. (OCI8 3.0 and earlier can be linked with 10g or later). The Oracle Client libraries are in the free Oracle Instant Client from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client.html. They are also included in your database installation.

Oracle's standard cross-version connectivity applies. For example, PHP OCI8 linked with Oracle Client 19c can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 onward. See Oracle's note "Oracle Client / Server Interoperability Support" (ID 207303.1) for details.

Changes

Bump PHP OCI8 2.0 mininum requirements to PHP 5.2 and Oracle client
library 10.2. (Use OCI8 1.4 for older PHP version support or if only
Oracle 9.2 client libraries are available.)

Re-enable php_oci8.dll and php_oci8_11g.dll for Windows builds so URL
links work in the new Windows PECL infrastructure.
