This port adds support for OCI8 PHP shared extension. It replaces the old Oracle shared extension which is obsolete and will be dropped (moved to PECL) in PHP 5.1. This patch also corrects dependency for the Oracle shared extension (added Oracle client in RUN_DEPENDS). If someone finds it useful, the same could be done for PHP 4. Makefile.ext script expects to find /usr/lib/libpthread.a. If FreeBSD 4.x support is needed it should be replaced with /usr/lib/libc_r.a.

On FreeBSD 6.0 box the trick with merging libclntsh.a and libpthread.a works, and PHP successfully connected to Oracle server and did a SELECT, but on FreeBSD 4.11 the trick with libc_r.a it did not work, apache 1.3.34 crashed to coredump in my case. I tried it with devel/ngpt port on FreeBSD 4.11 too, it did not compile.
It could be marked as not working on FreeBSD<5.0 with something like: .if ${OSVERSION} < 500000 IGNORE= "does not compile on FreeBSD 4.x" .endif __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
