title: oracle with php configuration
body: <p>I am trying to connect to an oracle database with php. I've installed oci8 and edited my php.ini file to add: </p>
  
  <pre><code>extension_dir = "/opt/deploy/oracle/oci8-1.4.9/modules/"
  extension=oci8.so
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OCI8 doesn't show up any where in phpinfo() and when I do </p>
  
  <pre><code>if(!function_exists('oci_connect')) die('Oracle Not Installed');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It says Oracle is not installed. </p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something? These directions were followed:
