Description:
------------
I have installed PHP 5.3.3 on my Windows Server 2003.
Every time I try to run PHP (by itself, e.g. php-win.exe or a simple php script from the web site, e.g. http://localhost/hello.php) I get the following error: "This application failed to start because OCI.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
I have researched the net and there a many complains like this, with no apparent real solution.
I am also puzzled since this dll seems to be Oracle related and I do no have oracle on my system, and I commented out references to OCI8 in my php.ini.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Disable oracle extensions in your php.ini and the error will go away.

As I said in my description: "I commented out references to OCI8 in my php.ini.".
Is that not the same as "Disable oracle extensions in your php.ini"?

It is, but you either did not disable it in the right php.ini or did not restart your web server after the change.

In any case, this is definitively not a bug but a setup/configuration question. Please ask further support to the php install or php windows mailing list.
