How To Enable OCI8 on PHP 5.4 and Install Oracle Instant Client on Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick

8 Replies

After upgrading to OS X 10.9 Maverick, i’ve to reinstall PHP library and reconfigure it. Oracle OCI8 is one of PHP libraries which need to be reconfigured.

Today i spend more than 2 hours just to find out how to enable Oracle OCI8 in PHP 5.4.24. So I post it here just in case i have to reconfigure it again, i don’t have to feel the pain again.

Lets Start!

  1. Download Oracle Client Library from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html
    You have to download 3 files:

    After downloading 3 files above, you have to extract instantclient-basic and instantclient-plus zip files into one folder, for example in “/Applications/instantclient”. And then create folder named “sdk” inside that folder, and extract instantclient-sdk into it.  And then add symbolic link using this command in Terminal:

    ln -s libclntsh.dylib.11.1 libclntsh.dylib

  2. Download oci8 tar PECL package from http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8
    After downloading package from pecl, extract it anywhere you like. And then open “Terminal” and go to that folder. Then run commands below.

    phpize
    ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/Applications/instantclient
    make
    sudo make install

    Edit “/Applications/instantclient/” to the path where you extract Oracle Instant Client (point 1).

  3. Edit Apache plist file on /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
    Open Apache plist using text editor and then find Environment Key section. Add DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH key and your Oracle Instant Client folder as value.

  4. Open your /Users/yourusername/.bash_profile file using text editor, then add “export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/instantclient/” (without quotes) at the end of file.
  5. Edit your php.ini and add “extension=oci8.so”
  6. Open terminal, and run this command : sudo apachectl restart
  7. Done! Open PHP Info

Search Term Library For Codelgniter

Do you want to know how your user came to your website via search engine? User usually go to search engine like google and then type a search term and click link from search result page.  Search term can be used for analytic purpose, or search engine optimization (SEO) method.

First step to catch search term is getting the referrer. If referrer is a search engine, get the  search term, clean it from ‘bad words’ and return the result.  Simple, isn’t it? 🙂

WordPress community have a plugin to do the processes. And then i put some of its code to build library for CodeIgniter. You can download this library here.

Using this library is so simple.

$this->load->library(‘Terms_lib’);
$term = $this->terms_lib->search_term;

Done. 🙂

 

Sublime Text 2

Belakangan ini saya mulai beralih ke Sublime Text 2 sebagai default text editor saya. Desain yang simpel, ringan, dan powerful membuat saya kepincut. Dan juga versi trialnya unlimited. 😀

Salah satu yang menurut saya kurang adalah dukungan untuk remote file editing (FTP, SFTP, FTPS) secara native. Masih membutuhkan package tambahan yang kebetulan berbayar. Walau fitur ini masih bisa ‘diakali’ dengan mensetting default text editor pada FTP Client.

Multiple Argument in CodeIgniter’ s Form Validation Callback

Leave a reply

CodeIgniter have a powerful form validation class out of the box. We also can create our validation method using a callback. By default, “callback” just accept 1 argument. I didn’t found in user guide, how to make callback accept more than 1 argument.

But, after doing little googling i found a way to do it. For example:

$val->set_rules('field', 'Field Name', "trim|xss_clean|required|callback__example_callback[{$argument}]")
......

function _example_callback($default_argument, $argument) {

.......

See the bold text. Done. 🙂
