ODBC is a windows thing, you don't need it in Linux as you can connect using
PHP's native Oracle interface. I have no experience with Oracle however but
do know you will probably need to recompile PHP with Oracle support, then
recompile Apache. The best place to get help is the PHP list and I have
forwarded this message there.
