Hi,

I've been using Doctrine with Symfony 1.2 on Windows successfully
after a few patches, when I asked our linux administrator to install
PDO_OCI on our linux test machine he ran into a nightmare of
configuration problems.  This machine is running a 64 bit Oracle
Instant Client, version 11.1 and PHP 5.2.9.  He downloaded
PDO_OCI-1.0.  The final problem was a message sayint that 11.1 is and
unsupported version and there is a php bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46278
on this, but it ends with a rather unhelpful conclusion that its fixed
in 5.3 and that the report is a "doc/user" problem.  There are
numerous other php bugs on the PDO_OCI install.

Is there a better version or are we better off using the adapter?  Is
there documentation on using the adapter?  We are not ready to upgrade
PHP.

Thanks/peter
