Hi Al.
It wasn't me who wrote that.. but Alex.
My solution was much easier:
use the ports: databases/php4-oracle
it is not the new oci8 but the old oracle API.. but that's enough for my needs.
Best regards.

Roberto,
Can you elaborate on how you were able to do this? Where exactly were you able to find the Oracle drivers? I contacted EasySoft's support guys to try and get this working and as much as they tried, they ultimately gave up. But at no time did we ever go find Oracle libraries from their website. I'm very curious to know in more detail how you ran the install.

I'm using a client app to access an oracle 8i database myself. I'm using unixODBC on freebsd which the oracle 9i libraries from the oracle website and the oracle driver from www.easysoft.com which allows unixodbc apps to use the oracle driver. I'm not using mod_php4, but I'm pretty sure it can use unixodbc once that's setup. There is allow a native oracle driver for php, but I don't know anything about it.
My app -> unixODBC -> EasySoft Oracle driver -> Oracle libs -> Oracle server
