I’m having some problems with your script… I have snow leopard, and tried the script more than 10 times now, and it never worked…. I had installed MAMP, but then I realize that MAMP is unnecessary in snow leopard.

I tried with the original and it didn’t work for me. I’ve been editing the script according to the comments i read, and it still doesn’t work. As Simao, I get nothing with phpinfo() and the test.php. I’ve been trying to spot errors within the installation, and I spotted this one the last time I tried:

libs/libphp5.bundle && cp libs/libphp5.bundle libs/libphp5.so
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: =: No such file or directory
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

In the end, I get:

Build complete.
Don’t forget to run ‘make test’.

Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

Until now, I made these changes in the script:

1) Replace this line:

#cat makefile | sed ’s/CFLAGS_CLEAN = /CFLAGS_CLEAN = -I\/usr\/include -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk \#CFLAGS_CLEAN = /’ > makefile1.tmp

by this one:

cat makefile | sed ’s/CFLAGS_CLEAN = /CFLAGS_CLEAN = -I\/usr\/include -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk \#CFLAGS_CLEAN = /’ > makefile1.tmp

2) Replace this line:

cat makefile1.tmp | sed ’s/EXTRA_LDFLAGS = /EXTRA_LDFLAGS = -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk -Wl,-syslibroot,\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk \#EXTRA_LDFLAGS = /’ > makefile2.tmp

by this one:

cat makefile1.tmp | sed ’s/EXTRA_LDFLAGS = /EXTRA_LDFLAGS = -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk -Wl,-syslibroot,\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk -L\/opt\/oracle\/instantclient_10_2 = /’ > makefile2.tmp

3) Replace this line:

phpize

by this one:

/usr/bin/phpize

4) I also edited httpd.conf adding these lines:

# Turned on env_module to set Oracle stuff here.
#

SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
SetEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
SetEnv TNS_ADMIN /opt/oracle/tns

# echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH; echo $ORACLE_HOME

What is the output?

dyld: Library not loaded: /b/227/sqlplus/lib/libsqlplus.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/bin/sqlplus
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Any help on that?

Also, i get nothing on the phpinfo() or the test.php pages.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this HowTo and script. I’ve had problem when “make” for the php part : The sed command did comment too much for EXTRA_LDFLAGS (add to remove the #EXTRA_LDFLAGS to let the “-L /path/to/instant/client” be used. also add to remove “-arch ppc” on both lines modified by sed to avoid some other error).

This done on MacBook Pro (MBP 3.1, MacIntel) with Leopard 10.5.7

On Mac I haven’t tested the solution but should be similar.

ERROR:
oci_new_connect() [function.oci-new-connect]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system – please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries

all that i do is:
locate oci8.so
and copy this path to the php.ini

in my case:
extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/oci8.so

now i go to try if is working….

Unfortunately I am still having problem connecting to a remote Oracle server using PHP. I have no problem connecting to the same server using SQLPLUS as ROOT.

The error I am getting is “Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_new_connect()”

Any ideas what might be causing this issue. It seems like php may not be configured properly but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
