Description:
------------
Windows 2000 SP4
Apache 1.3.27
PHP 4.3.3
Oracle 7i and 8i (both reproduce issue)

OCI.DLL in %PATH% (have tried both oci.dll for 7i and 8i)  These are not configured at the same time, I can control which oci.dll is currently being loaded.

When attempting to load php_oci8.dll I get the following pop-up error message from OCI.DLL in an error window:

"The specified module could not be found"

This pop up only comes up when attempting to run from the command line by going to c:/program files/apache group/apache/apache.exe

When attempting to start apache as a service, apache fails to load.

All other modules in the php.ini file load as specified.

[php.ini start]
extension_dir = "./"
extension=php/extensions/php_exif.dll
extension=php/extensions/php_gd2.dll
extension=php/extensions/php_oci8.dll

When php_oci8.dll is commented back in, it works properly (just without Oracle Support).

Oracle 7i and 8i are both installed on this machine, and I can access Oracle servers using Toad with this machine.  Oracle is setup properly.

As far as I have been able to tell, there have been no legitimate answers to the cause of this problem, nor any resolutions.  Most are just marked "Bogus" with no explaination as such, or "most likely a configuration error".  This error can not be located on many of the mailing lists, nor google or usenet with any known solid resolution.  If this is indeed a "configuration error" suggest addition to the documentation on correctly setting Oracle up to prevent these types of bug reports in the future.
