Answer 1

Probably you should download InstantClient and replace contents of /instantclient folder of Oracle client with the .dll-s of InstantClient.

There are several potential solutions on that page ranging from re-installing xampp to checking permissions to using native php oci_connect(). Have you tried any of these things?

Answer 3

I solved it copying all the content of C:\instantclient_11_2 (please check what´s yours) inside system and system32 folders in Windows , then I delete the path of C:\instantclient_11_2 in the PATH enviroment variable.

I am using XAMPP and Windows 8 and it´s the first time I see this issue. I always configured properly oci 8 with xampp and windows in a few minutes. I hope this would help you.

Answer 4

You need to copy all content of the instant client to apache/bin

im using xampp and working for me.

copy all files of the instant client enter image description here to apache/bin

Answer 5

I was facing the same error on uwamp 3 in connecting to oracle 11gR2.

I deleted the oracle instantclient from path variable and copied all files from instantclient to uwamp\bin\apache\bin

and it worked.

My setup:

• System: Windows 7
• Instantclient: instantclient-basiclite-win32-11.1.0.7.0
• Web Server: Uwamp3
