This procedure is tested on Mac OS X 10.8 with Developpers tools installed (xCode).
PHP 5.4 installed with Homebrew.
Update: I wrote a blog post about this.
Download the following files from Oracle website (yes, you need to create an account and accept terms):
- instantclient-basic-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
- instantclient-sqlplus-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
- instantclient-sdk-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
Create and unzip all theses files into a the directory /usr/local/instantclient/11.2.0.3/
.
This directory will looks like:
.

I recommand to install Oracle Server with a VirtualBox VM preinstalled.
/usr/local/bin/sqlplus oracle/oracle@192.168.56.101
pecl install oci8
If the script prompt you to provide the path to ORACLE_HOME directory, respond with:
instantclient,/usr/local/lib
And your are done, normally pecl will automatically load the extension in your php.ini
. If not, add the following line to your php.ini
:
extension=oci8.so
Restart your HTTP Server and test.
Enjoy (or try to...) !
Here's how I fixed it. (I'm using MAMP, by the way):
