<summary>Extension for Oracle Database</summary>
<description>
-Use the OCI8 extension to access Oracle Database. The extension can
-be linked with Oracle client libraries from Oracle Database 10.2, 11,
-or 12.1. These libraries are found in the database installation, or
-in the free Oracle Instant Client available from Oracle. Oracle's
-standard cross-version connectivity applies. For example, PHP OCI8
-linked with Instant Client 11.2 can connect to Oracle Database 9.2
-onward. See Oracle's note "Oracle Client / Server Interoperability
-Support" (ID 207303.1) for details. PHP OCI8 2.0 can be built with
-PHP 5.2 onward. Use the older PHP OCI8 1.4.10 when using PHP 4.3.9
-through to PHP 5.1.x, or when only Oracle Database 9.2 client
-libraries are available.
+Use the OCI8 extension to access Oracle Database. PHP OCI8 2.1 builds
+with PHP 7. Use 'pecl install oci8-2.0.10' to install OCI8 for PHP
+5.2 - PHP 5.6. Use 'pecl install oci8-1.4.10' to install PHP OCI8 1.4
+for PHP 4.3.9 - PHP 5.1. The OCI8 extension can be linked with Oracle
+client libraries from Oracle Database 12.1, 11, or 10.2. These
+libraries are found in your database installation, or in the free
+Oracle Instant Client from
+http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/.
