I don't think so. The way to do it is to download the SRPM for the
php from your vendor's web site, do a rpm -ivh php-blah.srpm. This
will give you a spec file in the /usr/src/SOMETHING/SPEC . Open the
spec file in your editor and add "--with-oci8" to the compile
options. (I think you will find a comment in the spec file which will
tell exactly what options to use to get the oracle support)

After that you need to do a rpmbuild -bb php-blah.spec to get the rpm
that you can then install.

PS : Congratulations on getting Oracle installed on Linux :P
