oci8 + PHP8.2 + Oracle XE

[hormiai76]

Hi,
we would like to migrate our application from PHP7.4 to PHP8.2.
We are using oci8 driver to connect to our Oracle XE 11g database and we would like to upgrade it but we are not sure about the compatibilities with the oci8 driver of the adodb 5.22.x versions.
Do you have any plan to be compatible to PHP8.3 too? I would like to know it to update my project documentation.
Regards,
Alberto

I am no longer actively using ADOdb on Oracle, so I can't give you first-hand experience here.

However, I do expect the oci8 driver to be fully compatible with PHP 8.2. Over the past couple of years, we have fixed 10 PHP 8.x related issues, and there are currently no known outstanding problems. I am not aware of any particular issues with PHP 8.3 either.

With regards to Oracle, I'm pretty sure it would work just fine with later versions. I personally used it last with 19c but that was a few years ago. Note that ADOdb just relies on PHP's oci8 driver, please refer to https://www.php.net/manual/en/oci8.requirements.php for further information.

Should you experience any problems, please open a bug report and well do our best to fix it. Or even better, submit a pull request with a patch if you can.
