How do I recomplie php to use oci8 on fedora6

[mikeyd]

I have php and apache installed by default on my fedora core 6 box.

I need to connect to Oracle databases on our network but do not have a clue as to how to recomplie php with the oci8 package it needs to connect to the oracle databases.

I do not have an Oracle db on my server.
They are on the network.


thanks

the php manual has the necessary info.

I have downloaded those files.
But I do not have step by step instruction on how to make this work.
I have set the Path as describe in the install steps but they do not show in my phpinfo page as having oracle support.

I am new to this so maybe a little more step by step instructions would be useful.
Maybe a complete idiots step by step guide would work for me.

thanks for your reply
