Regarding to Oracle Documentation :-

Oracle HTTP Server is the web server component in Oracle Fusion Middleware. Based on the Apache infrastructure, Oracle HTTP Server allows developers to program their site in a variety of languages and technologies.

PHP (recursive acronym for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”) is a general-purpose scripting language often used for generating web sites. The object model of PHP 5 facilitates project development using standard object-oriented methodologies.

To Configure PHP with Oracle OHS Follow the below steps :-

Step #1:-

export ORACLE_HOME=/Siebel/ohs/Middleware/Oracle_WT1/
export ORACLE_INSTANCE=/Siebel/ohs/Middleware/Oracle_WT1/instances/instance1/
export CONFIG_FILE_PATH=/Siebel/ohs/Middleware/Oracle_WT1/instances/instance1/config/OHS/ohs1/

Step #2:

Download PHP From here.
Upload the file to the server ( should be on the same OHS Server).

gunzip php-5.4.27.tar.gz
tar -xvf php-5.4.27.tar
cd /Siebel/php-5.4.27

Note :-
I Used this version because older version contains bugs
conflicting types for ‘zendparse’

Step #3:-

$./configure –with-apxs2=$ORACLE_HOME/ohs/bin/apxs –prefix=$ORACLE_HOME –with-config-file-path=$CONFIG_FILE_PATH

make
make install

Don’t Run the Above command if nothing not complied successfully.

Once Complied successfully :-

libphp5.so is generated inside php/libs

Step #4:

Inside php folder

cp php.ini-production $CONFIG_FILE_PATH/php.ini

cd $CONFIG_FILE_PATH

vi httpd.conf

add the below line:-

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Step #5:-

Restart OHS

./opmnctl stopall
./opmnctl startall

Test PHP :
