Coming late to the party but FWIW, the re-factored OCI8 driver (aka
OCI8 1.1 onwards) was designed to be usable with PHP 4.

ZCO picks up the latest PECL build. The release schedules are not
completely syncronized but there was a new PECL OCI8 1.2 bundle on 16
March at http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 that matches ZCO 1.3.1. (It
will take a short while for the pre-built Windows stack on
http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oci8.dll to complete builds of
1.2.)

Another advantage of the re-factored OCI8 driver (aka OCI8 1.1
onwards) is that the the oci_close/ocilogoff function is no-longer a
no-op. You can now force a connection to close. This may be useful
in scripts that only access Oracle for a short time relative to other
PHP processing because resources can be freed for other Oracle users.
