How to set up Oracle on denwer windows 8?

Question

PHP

Good day!
I'm trying to set up a remote Oracle 10gR2 database on Denver in windows 8
1. Installed Denver (everything works fine)
2. Uncommented the extension=php_oci8.dll line in php.ini - after that, when restarting Apache, an error appeared
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ' /usr/local/php5/ext\php_oci8.dll' - The specified module was not found.
3. I downloaded php_oci8.dll and put it in the /usr/local/php5/ext folder - after that an error appeared
. The program cannot be started because OCI.dll is missing on the computer. Try reinstalling the program.
4. I downloaded Oracle 10gR2 Instant Client from the Oracle website (there is just oci.dll, etc.)
5. Added the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH = C:\oracle\instantclient_10_2\ (path to the folder with instant client) to the environment variables
6. Rebooted the computer - it still gives an error as in step 3
7. this is what phpinfo () gives out - testoracle.asuscomm .com
what could be the problem?

Answer 1

Project Denver has long been closed. It has an outdated version of PHP and removed some modules (including php_oci8)
In the latest version of PHP, this file will be bundled right away. You don't need to download anything.
