Problem installing printer driver in PHP (WAMP) OCI8 format

Question

Hi,

I need to install oci8 drivers for PHP, but I have some problems.

I already have a WAMP installation that comes with the oci8 extension, and did the following to configure it:

• Enable the extension by adding the following to the php.ini file in my Apache docroot as a local variable:
  [PHP_OCI8]
  extension = php_oci8.dll
• Added my path to extension directories for my PATH environment variable in windows (c: /wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/;)
• Added the same extension directory to the php.ini file

When I start my wamp, I see the following error message:

• PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library c: /wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/php_oci8.dll

I was able to verify that the above path is correct, and I am tempted to say that something is wrong with the .dll, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone encountered similar problems?

The Oracle OCI8 driver also requires that the Oracle Instant Client 10gR2 (aka 10.2.x) libraries or newer ones are installed on a computer running PHP. It is recommended that you use a version of Basic or Basic Lite, depending on whether you need internationalization libraries or not.
