How to configure apache to support oracle via php and so?

This is to migrate the existing SuSE Linux Enterprise server 11 (think with SP1) to another newly-setup SuSE Linux Enterprise 11 with SP4. This existing server is hosting apache, and supporting an oracle via PHP. The main thing is, we also have to configure the new SuSE to have PHP supporting Oracle with the following working descriptions from the application owner as follows,

           - Apache connecting to PHP accessing a Oracle table through Oracle instant client

with this requirement:
1)      the PHP has to be compiled to enable Oracle instant client
2)      apache has to have the connector configured (not shown here ) and recompiled

So far, on this new SuSE, a apache and associated modules were installed. When typing "rpm -qa |grep apache", the results shows,

      apache2-prefork-2.2.10-2.18
      apache2-utils-2.2.10-2.18
      apache2-mod_python-3.3.1-147.19
      apache2-mod_php5-5.2.6-50.17
      apache2-2.2.10-2.18
      apache2-mod_perl-2.0.4-40.19

How should we proceed from here?

thanks in advance.
