I'm trying to set up oci in xampp with php7.1.8.

I have activated the line extension=php_oci8_12c.dll in php.ini , but when starting the service it gives the following message.

  

Could not find procedure entry point OCIContextGetValue in dynamic link library OCI.dll

You have downloaded the incompatible / wrong client to use with this PHP dll, possibly the architecture of your PHP and Oracle client are different, for example php is 64bit and the client is 32bit.

Other possibilities:

  • you have downloaded a wrong version client
  • You did not install the client
  • you downloaded an OCI.dll and put it in the same PHP folder (remove it if you did this "undo")

Regardless of what you did previously, undo (making the necessary backups before) and then first let's identify the architecture and some relevant data if you want to install an external extension, create a file called info.php and add this: 

<?php
phpinfo();

See the relevant information before installing the Oracle client (in this case only the architecture is relevant):

Aftercheckingthearchitectureandcompilerdownloadtheappropriateclient,yourPHPisprobably64bit,butI'mnotsure:

  • Oracle64ibtClient: link
  • Oracle 32ibt Client: link

Other customers:

Remove the client you already have installed and install what you downloaded.
