I know on Redhat EL you need the php-pear and php-devel RPMs to get
pecl, pear and phpize.

phpize creates configure.

Given the previous build failures it's unlikely this code will run.

If you haven't set display_errors to On in php.ini you won't see any
automatic PHP errors.

Also, your error printing code should look like:

   echo "Oracle Connect Error " . $err['message]';

For information on OCI8 there are a number of books available,
including my free PDF book at http://tinyurl.com/f8jad.  (A new
version of this book should be out in the next week or so: I've just
finished my edits on it.)
