Okay, this one starts out as most of the other OCI8-related bogus bugs. But in my opinion, this seems to be a 'real' bug. Here goes:

I have Apache 1.3.27, Oracle 8i EE and PHP 4.3.1 installed on a Windows 2000 system. PHP and Apache worked fine, until I decided to go enable the OCI8 extension. Even after making sure of the following:
1) extension_dir = "C:\php\extensions"
2) oci.dll in %PATH%
apache would complain:
PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\extensions\php_oci8.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
 in Unknown on line 0

Apache ran (w/o loading OCI8) however.

Following the advice in one of the other posts, I enabled php_exif.dll and that loaded fine.

Eventually, I started apache from commandline, w/o any options and it started fine, and loaded OCI8. (phpinfo() confirmed that.)

But again, when I tried to start apache with the default options, [apache -w -n "Apache" -k start] which essencially starts the service, it popped up the same error. phpinfo() confirmed that OCI8 wasn't loaded.

An update.

The service works now, although I haven't changed anything. I am leaving this bug open, so the developer(s) can look into it regardless, if they wish to.

If it works -> bogus.

I have exactly the same problem but with IIS 5.  What I can add is that the same occurs with most of the other extensions.  Some do load tho.  To name a few php_bz2,php_cpdf,php_exif.
