CentOS - Aug 2005 - OCI8 extension for PHP

Hello,
I am wondering what do people use to connect to an oracle DB ? 
I've been looking for something like php-oci8 RPM package, but no luck so
far.
I hate to have to rebuilding PHP on my own just to be able to connect to an 
Oracle database. 

Thanks for any help

Reuben, AFAIK there is no pre-made packages for this. You have to do it
yourself.
You first need to install the Oracle Client package, and then recompile
php together with the Oracle libs ( --with-oci8 )
