Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79775&edit=1 ID: 79775 User updated by: thomas dot wiedmann at laek-bw dot de Reported by: thomas dot wiedmann at laek-bw dot de Summary: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_oci8_12c.dll' Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Oracle related Operating System: Windows NT 10.0 build 14393 PHP Version: 7.4.7 Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for your help, tips and information. The problem seems to be very specific and is related to Windows Server 2016. This is a newly set up server. The update file VC_redist.x64.exe I have installed and repaired in the meantime (several times). The missing api-ms-win-crt-*.dlls are still missing.

Which indicates a too old OCI.dll. Looling at the other comment it is a 11g OCI.dll while php_oci8_12c.dll requires a 12c OCI.dll. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-14 13:50:36] phpdev at ehrhardt dot nl >> phpinfo(); >> PDO_OCI is loaded well. > >Then the error message should no longer occur. Not really. php_pdo_oci.dll is fairly tolerant. For instance, it loads OK with a too old OCI.dll, while php_oci8_12c.dll exits with a missing procedure: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'oci8_12c' (tried: ext\oci8_12c (The specified module could not be found.), ext\php_oci8_12c.dll (The specified procedure could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0 There seems to be no difference between the PHP- and the PECL-versions, allthough they differ quite a lot in size (150 KB vs 158 KB). Anyway, (re)installing the VC++ Redistributable seems at least required: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-08 09:59:55] cmb@php.net > api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll,NOTFOUND > api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0.dll,NOTFOUND > api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll,NOTFOUND > api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll,NOTFOUND > api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll,NOTFOUND That's strange, because these are needed anyway. You may need to update the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio. Anyhow, I don't think there is a bug regarding PHP/PECL, so you're better off asking in a support forum. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-08 08:56:45] thomas dot wiedmann at laek-bw dot de Ok, now I have checked these two DLLs with deplister.exe. Both find the OCI.DLL and the error in Apache error.og still exists. [1.

You are using php_oci8_12c.dll but only have Oracle version 11 in PATH. You may need the correct VS redistributable. There are a bunch of questions/answers best followed up outside the bug system. Please ask on a forum such as https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/php.html before we investigate as a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
