Seems the oracle php applications is doing some bad things with memory.
 It is basically attempting to make it both writeable and executable at
the same time.  This can cause potential problems as described in

http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/selinux-mem.html

and

http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/16975.html

You should probably report this as a bug to oracle,  and you can
customize your policy to allow this access using audit2allow

# grep http /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M myhttp
# semodule -i myhttp.pp

This should allow you to run these oracle apps with SELinux in enforcing
mode.
