PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'oci8_19' windows 11 (php8.1.20) tried most of the available solutions but nothing is working

Question

tried most of the available solutions but nothing is working !!!!

I have downloaded a fresh php from here which is php-8.1.20-nts-Win32-vs16-x64.zip in Windows 11 64-bit PC. This is working properly for all default libraries whenever I update the ini file to enable any extension it shows this warning. All other libraries have no issue. Whenever I enable any extension manually this warning arises.

I have tried most of the available solutions but nothing is working. But I have tried the same thing in Windows 10 64-bit PC which is working perfectly. Is there any OS architecture dependency? Haven't found much about it.

Here is my phpinfo()

Answer 1

Oracle Instant Client is needed. Download it from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/winx64-64-downloads.html and extract it into your working directory.

Answer 2

Maybe same issue as this post. Check that your ext directory contains all the needed dlls if not install them. The shown path is relative did you configure the extension_dir in php.ini ? I recommend to use an absolute path to avoid issues with working directory not being the right one.
