Description:
------------
I tried to re-open bug #68379 but it wouldn't let me. The error message said "•You
aren't allowed to change a bug to that state.".

I am running Windows 7 with Apache 2.4.10 and Oracle 11g. After upgrading my PHP version from 5.5.18
to 5.6.4 I can longer use the oci8 extension as my code fails with "Call to undefined function
oci_connect()". When I run phpinfo() it shows that the oci8 extension is not loaded.

When I look in the Apache error log it shows no errors. When I look in the Windows event viewer it
also shows no errors.

This was working perfectly with PHP 5.5.18, so why should a simple upgrade to 5.6.4 cause such a
problem?

I did not edit my php.ini file as I was using exactly the same settings as before. All I did was
replace the PHP 5.5.18 code with that for 5.6.4 and this extension failed to work as I expected.


Expected result:
----------------
I expect the oci8 extension to be loaded and usable.


Actual result:
--------------
The oci8 extension is not loaded, and there are no error messages explaining why.
