Nikita Popov 422d1665a2 Make convert_to_*_ex simple aliases of convert_to_*
Historically, the _ex variants separated the zval first, if a
conversion was necessary. This distinction no longer makes sense
since PHP 7.

The only difference that was still left is that _ex checked whether
the type is the same first, but the usage of these macros did not
actually distinguish on whether such an inlined check is valuable
or not in a given context.

Also drop the unused convert_to_explicit_type macros.

The OCI8 Extension

Use the OCI8 extension to access Oracle Database.

Documentation is at https://www.php.net/oci8

Use pecl install oci8 to install for PHP 8.

Use pecl install oci8-2.2.0 to install for PHP 7.

Use pecl install oci8-2.0.12 to install for PHP 5.2 - PHP 5.6.

Use pecl install oci8-1.4.10 to install for PHP 4.3.9 - PHP 5.1.

The OCI8 extension can be linked with Oracle client libraries from Oracle Database 10.2 or later. These libraries are found in your database installation, or in the free Oracle Instant Client from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client.html Install the 'Basic' or 'Basic Light' Instant Client package. If building from source, then also install the SDK package.

Oracle's standard cross-version connectivity applies. For example, PHP OCI8 linked with Instant Client 19c can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 onward. See Oracle's note "Oracle Client / Server Interoperability Support" (ID 207303.1) for details.
