Hm... it seems to me a good idea to note somewhere in the manual that
PHP (or Windows) searches for DLL's in %PATH% and %SYSTEM%.
Reopening as a documentation problem.

Of course, it is NOT a bug of php.

After failed many times, I happened to find the cause. I think it maybe
helpful for many people who reported or asked the same question that I
have seen on www.php.net .
It is the PATH has not been correctly set.
When loading php_oci8.dll, this DLL file search for the other DLL
file "oci.dll" in current directory, PATH environment and %SYSTEM%(on
Windows). If oci.dll can not be found, the OS will tell you "Unable to
load dynamic library : php_oci8.dll". If you installed Oracle RDBMS on
your system, then the file "oci.dll" is in Oralce Home directory. So
you must include "Oracle Home Directory " in PATH environment, on my
computer it is "D:\Oracle\ora81\Bin". Perhaps, the same problem on
different platform can be solved in same way, try it.
I am lucky to find the cause in almost ten days, I hope people will
not be worried about this problem any longer.

Unable to load php_oci8.dll ONLY in command line mode
I have just installed php 4.2.0 for win32 on my computer. I found
the same bug as php (4.1.2).
There is nothing wrong when I use php in ISAPI mode, and I can
connect to Oracle 8i(8.1.7 Personal Edition) successfully and
manipulate data too. but when I use php in command line mode to process
some task which can only run once, the system show a message box with
the text below :
'Unable to load dynamic library
"c:\php420\extensions\php_oci8.dll". '
The extension file "php_oci8.dll" does exist in the above
directory, and can work correctly in ISAPI mode. So I considered that
there is a bug in "php.exe" on loading dynamic library. Is it?
Please help me.
