I'm trying to install oci8 through pecl, following this link. I successfully installed oci8 following these steps last year, before the release of php8.0. This is my configuration:
This is what I've done after unzipping the instantclient:
sudo echo /opt/oracle/instantclient_19_10 > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient.conf
sudo ldconfig
sudo apt install php7.3-dev php-pear build-essential libaio1
echo "instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_19_10" | pecl install oci8-2.2.0
You can find the output of echo "instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_19_10" | pecl install oci8-2.2.0 below:

I've searched online, but this is the only answer I can find regarding my problem.
Edit: On further inspection, not even the answer above addresses my issue. Sorry for that.
Check you have the right PHP header files - the 20200930 in the path looks suspicious. Even on Ubuntu 20.20, the default PHP 7.4 installs headers into /usr/include/php/20190902 so why are your headers for 7.3 in /usr/include/php/20200930?
If this is not the problem, check if your compiler is too old? Try the 'phpize' install (see here) and add compile options to see what the macros are expanding to. Try grabbing the OCI8 directory from a PHP source bundle matching you version (and use the phpize method to install). The problem won't be Instant Client.
Finally, why not upgrade Ubuntu and/or PHP?
