Description:
------------
Problem exists under Apple M1 chip only!

After set–up Oracle Instant Client under M1, and run sqlplus to check, does instant client works – the sqlplus works without any problems. All connection, and some simple sqls works perfectly. 

Than after set up oci8 extension via pecl, and provide path to instant client – the script don't find any errors, and installation finished with success.

After check how extension loaded, PHP stops with critical exception:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _OCIClientVersion
 


Test script:
---------------
cd ~/Downloads

curl -O https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/mac/instantclient/198000/instantclient-basic-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.dmg
curl -O https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/mac/instantclient/198000/instantclient-sdk-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.dmg
curl -O https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/mac/instantclient/198000/instantclient-sqlplus-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.dmg

hdiutil mount instantclient-basic-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.dmg 
hdiutil mount instantclient-sdk-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.dmg
hdiutil mount instantclient-sqlplus-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.dmg

/Volumes/instantclient-basic-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru/install_ic.sh

hdiutil unmount /Volumes/instantclient-basic-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru
hdiutil unmount /Volumes/instantclient-sdk-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru
hdiutil unmount /Volumes/instantclient-sqlplus-macos.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru

sudo mkdir -p /opt/oracle
sudo mv instantclient_19_8/ /opt/oracle

pecl install oci8

# Oracle Instant Client [autodetect] : instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_19_8

php -i | grep oci8

I tested on versions 8 and 7 (7.3, 7.4)

Same problem here… we need help :( is this problem eclusive to Instant Client not being ported to ARM M1 yet? Is there nothing we can do to workaround?
 [2022-08-18 12:54 UTC] roubin_d at yahoo dot com
SOLVED!!

Hint: 
1. Run terminal using Rosetta
2. Install everything (i.e httpd, php, curl etc..) under rosetta terminal using brew (arch -x86_64) not the brew for m1 silicon
3. Download instantclient files & extract & create symlinks (https://gist.github.com/nasrulhazim/308c9f59a2ddba364b4b908ee9238265)
4, Run pecl install oci8
5. Enjoy

Note: of course there are more steps to it but above are the main points to follow - most important always use the homebrew intel version (i.e. arch -x86_64)

To solve this problem I created a docker environment that works on Apple Silicon, information on how to use it is in this repository
