Continuing my posting flood this week (relax, only two more posts to come after this one): Antony Dovgal took a snapshot of the OCI8 extension that shipped with PHP 5.2.4 and bundled it up standalone in PECL as OCI8 1.2.4. Windows binaries are here. The highlights: a fix to statement caching, some LOB fixes, some error handling fixes, and some meta data fixes. Check the changelog to see if any of the changes will enhance your PHP experience.
