I'm almost positive the RPM of PHP doesn't include oci8 support (a
phpinfo() call would confirm this).

So, you'll need to compile php with something like:
./configure --with-oci8=/home/oracle/OraHome1

with the Oracle client libs installed minimally and

/home/oracle/OraHome1/lib

in /etc/ld.so.conf.  Be sure to run ldconfig afterwards, of course, and
these are only the default Oracle directories for stuff.
