PHP OCI8 libclntsh.so.23.1()(64bit) needed

[Knot1985]

Hello I installed OCI8 on my server, but it shows this error:

Error: 
 Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package php-oci8-8.3.9-1.el9.remi.x86_64
  - nothing provides libclntsh.so.23.1()(64bit) needed by php-oci8-8.3.10-1.el9.remi.x86_64 from remi-modular
 Problem 2: problem with installed package php-oci8-8.3.9-1.el9.remi.x86_64
  - package php-oci8-8.3.9-1.el9.remi.x86_64 from @System requires php-pdo(x86-64) = 8.3.9-1.el9.remi, but none of the providers can be installed

I didn't installed Oracle Client 23 because I need to access some old Oracle Databases and Version 23 only works with Databases version 19 or newer.

I'm using Almalinux 9.4

I used this commands:

wget https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/2112000/el9/oracle-instantclient-basic-21.12.0.0.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
wget https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/2112000/el9/oracle-instantclient-devel-21.12.0.0.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

dnf install oracle-instantclient-basic-21.12.0.0.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm --allowerasing
dnf install oracle-instantclient-devel-21.12.0.0.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm --allowerasing

sh -c "echo /usr/lib/oracle/21/client64/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient.conf"

ldconfig

dnf install php-oci8

ldd /usr/lib64/php/modules/oci8.so

What I'm doing wrong? I used yum update --nobest to avoid the error.

Sorry, but you MUST use version 23.
BTW, it will work with old databases, even if not officially supported.
