Installation

These are the steps to install PHP.

Set up Required Repositories


To configure the yum repositories shown above on your system, install the repository setup
packageoracle-php-release-el7. After installing this package, the default enabled
repository is that for the latest available PHP release. To install the repository setup package
for Oracle Linux 7:

$ sudo yum install -y oracle-php-release-el7

Installing PHP
Then, to install the latest available release of PHP on Oracle Linux 7:

$ sudo yum install -y php

Updating PHP
If you have PHP already installed, and a newer release has been published, make sure you
update oracle-php-release-el7 first.

$ sudo yum update oracle-php-release-el7


$ sudo yum update php

Connecting PHP to Oracle Database with the PHP OCI8 Extension

The PHP OCI8 database extention enables access to Oracle Database with support for SQL,
PL/SQL, bind variables, large object (LOB) types as well connection pooling and result
caching features of Oracle Database. Read this blog post for a complete example connecting
a PHP 7.4 application to Oracle Database.

Installing PHP OCI8


Each PHP release has its own repository on Oracle Linux yum server and each of those
repositories also contains a corresponding RPM for the OCI8 extension, built for a specific
major release of Oracle Instant Client. These RPMs follow this naming scheme: php-
oci8<instant client release>. For example, on Oracle Linux 7, the PHP OCI8 RPM for
PHP 7.4 is built with Instant Client 19c and is named: php-oci8-19c. To install it:

$ sudo yum install php-oci8-19c

About Oracle Instant Client


PHP OCI8 depends on Oracle Instant Client. Yum configurations for Oracle Instant Client are
delivered via the oracle-release-el7 and oracle-release-el6 packages

Installing Oracle Instant Client


To install Oracle Instant Client on Oracle Linux 7:

$ sudo yum -y install oracle-release-el7


$ sudo yum -y install oracle-instantclient19.5-basic
https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-php.html 2/4
7/20/2021 PHP Packages for Oracle Linux

As of Oracle Instant Client 19c, no additional configuration is needed for applications to use
the Oracle client.

Installing PHP on Oracle Linux 8 via AppStream Modules

Oracle Linux 8 introduces the concept of Application Streams, where multiple versions of
user-space components can be delivered and updated more frequently than the core
operating system packages in RPM format or groups of related RPMs called Modules. Oracle
Linux 8 offers several independently updated versions of PHP via Module Streams. For mode
details, please refer to the documentation.

To list available Module Streams for PHP:

$ dnf module list php

To install PHP 7.4 :

$ sudo dnf install @php:7.4

PHP in Containers

On GitHub we provide resources to build your own container images or pull pre-built images,
including:

PHP Command Line Interface tool (PHP CLI)

PHP via FastCGI Process Manager (FPM)

PHP via Apache HTTP Server with mod_php

Variants of each of the above with Oracle Database connectivity via PHP-OCI8

See the reference below to developer and run PHP applications in containers:

Example Dockerfiles for PHP: Oracle Linux 8, Oracle Linux 7

PHP container images on GitHub Container registry: Oracle Linux 8, Oracle Linux 7
