My PHP project uses Oracle DB and it runs on Linux environment.

I believe I need to download OCI8 for Linux but I can't find this version of oci8 (php-oci8-5.4.16-48.el7.rpm) anywhere.

Can anyone have any clue to solve this issue? Any link/document?

Based on this manual on PHP web site you should use pecl.

Run this command:

pecl install oci8

Edit your php.ini file and add the line:

extension=oci8.so

For anyone stumbling upon this question, here is the proper way to handle it in Linux. (I am using CentOS commands for the demo below but Ubnutu shouldn't be any different)

Step 1: Get the Oracle libs.

EDIT: Thanks to Christopher Jones for the comment, you can find the direct RPM links at https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/oracle/instantclient/x86_64/

wget oracle-instantclient18.3-basic-18.3.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
wget oracle-instantclient18.3-devel-18.3.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Step 2: Install.

yum install oracle-instantclient18.3-basic-18.3.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
yum install  oracle-instantclient18.3-devel-18.3.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Step 3: configure (make the path of the oracle libs to be discoverable)

sudo sh -c "echo /usr/lib/oracle/18.3/client64/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf"
sudo ldconfig
