The canonical reference for this would be the PHP online manual:

Getting PHP to work with Oracle can be a right pain. I spent a long time trying to get this to work and did finally crack it.

What OS are you using for your PHP?

You need to compile PHP with the Oracle OCI libraries, unless someone has come up with an oracle module for PHP.
