Note Submitter: matthew_mcginnis@hotmail.com ---- Environment:

     WinNT 4.0 SP5
     Oracle8i (NOT on the web server)
     Apache 1.3.27
     PHP 4.3.1 (Manual Install - CGI)
     I followed the directions closely on the manual installation, but it did not work for me.  PHP worked in general, but the Oracle functions only worked after I moved all the dll files to the same directory as the Apache executable.  The php.ini file was in C:\winnt as directed.

I tried putting the dlls in %SYSTEMROOT% (C:\winnt\system32) but this failed miserably. I also tried winnt\system and winnt. The only thing that worked for me was to finally put them in the Apache folder. Hope that helps. BTW...I checked the extensions_dir and all other parameters over and over...they are all correct.
