PHP 4.2.3 is running with IIS 5 on W2k server.
Oracle client v6 is installed and working properly.
The error message is the following:
PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\extensions\php_oci8.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0
Also tried with php_oracle.dll but the result is the same.
I'm sure the dlls are there. gds32.dll is in system32.
Dependency walker stops at apphelp.dll - as it is not an XP.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

How can you be so sure that this is not a bug in php? I mean everything else seems ok.
Then you must know where the problem is. What about telling me?

Thanks

Ok, I have posted the problem description to php-db-help@lists.php.net. Please answer me there.
By the way I still don't know why this isn't a bug in php.
Maybe I don't understand what "php itself" means.

Thanks.

I had exactly the same headache with Oracle9 client.
The funniest thing is Apache was running fine in exactly the same PC.

It actually is a pbl related to IIS confioguration.
The solution is: in IIS uncheck the "let IIS validate anon user password" in anoun user auth panel.

Rationale: check out reports 216828 e  218756 on MSDN.

Some people here seem to be very ignorant to this
PHP-bug (!!).
On a w2k server (With servicepacks and IE6.x installed) you cant run the php distribution
because most extension dlls have a dependency to apphelp.dll.
Easy to say "its a windows problem" (I know that the dependency comes from a windows dll SHLWAPI.DLL) - but
you expect a software that is marked to run with w2k to
work...
I know that php isn't a comercial product but this
does not mean that developers should stop 
investigating a bug report when they find a MS-dll 
that they didnt write...
For "normal" users there is no workaround without help
from php developers and changes to the distribution.
Noone here is asking a "support question" its a bug or
remove "runs on windows 2000 server"
