Install php_oci8_11g at Windows 10 IIS 10

Question

Using IIS 10 in Windows 10 and trying to install PHP 5.5.6

I'm getting the following error when doing php -v:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ext/php_oci8_11g.dll - The specified module could not be found.

The file exist in C:\php\ext\php_oci8_11g.dll and the extensions variable is defined in php.ini as extension_dir = "ext".

I've installed ODBC driver and Oracle Instant client Version 11.2.0.4.0

When doing phpinfo() I only get in the PDO table PDO drivers: mysql instead of the expected PDO drivers: mysql, oci. And of course, I lack from a table PDO_OCI.

Needless to say my php.ini has extension=php_pdo_oci.dll and extension=php_oci8_11g.dll enabled .

I also tried restarting ISS with issreset and even restarting the computer.

Additionally, I also get this other error:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ext\php_pdo_oci.dll - The specified module could not be found.

The file is as well in the extensions folder.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I was missing placing instantclient_11_2 within the php folde rin C:\php\instantclient_11_2 and adding the path to the PATH environment variable.
