Hi this is my first post in this forum.

I have installed wamp server 2.2 on my windows xp desktop and I am trying to use oci8.dll extension to enable my oracle queries to run in my php pages. but when i enable to ext in wamp server i am getting the below error.

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/php_oci8.dll

I have tried installing 'oracle instant client'
I have tried copying oci8.dll file from another system(where oci8.dll is succesfully loaded)
I updated the environment variable path also to point the oracle instantclient_10_2

I am still not able to vercome this error.

Your post doesn't have enough detail to identify a cause.

How did you install Instant Client? Did you set PATH?

Don't copy oci8.dll. It is too easy to get a conflicted set up.
