Now, the only options for getting more up to date support are -- persuading Oracle to release eg. an Oracle Instant Client package for FreeBSD -- somehow being able to use the Linux client software under emulation. I've no idea what Oracle's response to the first option would be, but I suspect their response might well be that they won't get enough return to justify the cost of producing a FreeBSD native client. The second option looks pretty difficult to me -- making a PHP shared object that links to a Linux shlib but that is itself linked into various PHP applications. The future looks Postgresql shaped to me.
