php_oci8.dll

["Marcos R. Cardoso" <mcardoso@xxxxxxx>]

I'm experiencing a disturbing problem with PHP 4.4.2, Win 2003 Server, 
Apache 2.0.58 and Oracle 9i.

I've installed all the previously listed in a Web Server (though I've 
installed only the Net Client from Oracle 9i), but somehow there's a 
problem with the library php_oci8.dll
Whenever I start the Apache2 service the following messages are written 
in Apache's error.log file:
PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 
'C:\\php\\extensions\\php_oci8.dll' - N\xe3o foi poss\xedvel encontrar o 
m\xf3dulo especificado.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

threads.
*The message in portuguese means "It wasn't possible to find the 
specified module."

In the php.ini file I've used the following settings:

extension_dir = "C:\php\extensions"

extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_java.dll
extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_oci8.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_pdf.dll
extension=php_zip.dll

I've tried to copy the php_oci8.dll to the c:\windows\system32 folder 
but I had no success either. And the environment variable PATH contains 
the "c:\orant\bin" which contains the libraries used by Oracle to 
connect to the database. So, php_oci8.dll is the only library which is 
causing problems and I still couldn't find why.



TIA
