I've solved the problems. 1). The new(er) version of PHP uses functions apparantly not found in Oracle 8.0.6, the Oracle 8.1.7i OCI.DLL has that support. 2). The installation of Oracle 8.1.7 does nothing, it turns out that is a known problem: http://www.orafaq.com/cgi-bin/msgboard/view-thr.cgi?board=windows&message=10 27
* In trying to figure out why 8.1.7 would not install, I completely de-installed 8.0.6. Once the oracle installation was complete, SQL explorer was able to connect to my local servers. The only major change is now that the tnsnames entries xxxx.world now must be fully specified, before I could connect with xxxx.
