Bug 55445 – php/mod_php should USE oracle and configure --with-oracle

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Just filing my thoughts that php and mod_php (basically the php-sapi.eclass) should configure --with-oracle, which is different than --with-oci8 and provides a different set of functions.  See http://www.php.net/oracle for details.

I've recently proposed adding 'oracle' as a global USE flag, and would suggest that php-sapi.eclass make use of said flag for --with-oracle, keeping use of 'oci8' for --with-oci8.

Just my $0.02.

Alright I'm testing the changed eclass file and will send in cvs diff when I have it.

php-sapi.eclass diff

Here be the patch.  Worked fine for dev-php/php and `php -i` reports what I'd
expect for it's configuration.

Hrm ... --with-oracle enables oracle7 support, according to the PHP docs.  There's already an oracle7 global USE flag.  Please make sure the patch uses that USE flag.

Best regards,
Stu
