Here's the error:

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apachectl start
  Syntax error on line 208 of /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
  Cannot load /usr/local/etc/httpd/libexec/libphp4.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/httpd: fatal: libclntsh.so.1.0: open failed: No such file or directory
  /etc/init.d/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Line 208 of httpd.conf is:
  LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so

The libclntsh.so.1.0 file is in $ORACLE_HOME/lib.  This leads me to believe that $ORACLE_HOME/lib need's to be added to libphp4.so's library search path at link time, using the linker's "-R" flag -- perhaps a makefile or a configure script needs tweaking?

For a temporary fix, I've added code to /etc/init.d/apachectl to set up an LD_LIBRARY_PATH with $ORACLE_HOME/lib before the server is started, but of course messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH is never the ideal solution...

Oh yeah, I forgot, here was the configure line, as reported by phpinfo():

Configure command:
  './configure'
  '--prefix=/usr/local/php'
  '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf'
  '--with-apxs=/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs'
  '--with-oracle=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.4'

(Since the user that executed ./configure doesn't have the
ORACLE_HOME environment variable set, it had to be explicity
specified in the --with-oracle option.  Perhaps this linker problem
goes away if the "--with-oracle" pathname is taken from the
environment instead of from the ./configure command line?
I don't know...)

Set your ORACLE_HOME variable before running PHP's ./configure
and then just use --with-oci8
