Don't know where you heard this; I've had PHP4 working fine with Oracle 8.1.7, 9.0.1 and 9.2.0.

The only serious problem I've seen is with persistent connections (OCIPLogon as opposed to OCILogon) when the database server restarts whilst PHP has some connections open; it doesn't always reconnect the existing persistent connections in the pool.

There's a workaround listed, using a failover in your TNS entry:

No idea about PHP3, since it's so ancient now.
