php_oci8.dll

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

*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

I've seen this when php_oci8.dll can't find the Oracle libraries.
A tool like listdlls will help show what's happening.

In case it helps, there are various installation hints for PHP 5
and OCI8 in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/htdocs/php_trouble shooting_faq.html#notinst

If you're using a DB (version 8,9 or 10) on another machine
check the steps on using PHP with Oracle Instant Client, this
should be easier to work with the the full Oracle client.
