You mean 5.1.1?

I have a bit of oracle & php experience, but only on *nix. However, I
hate to see a fellow odd job man struggling, so I'll try and help.

Try replacing your php_oci8.dll with the one corresponding to your php
version here:

http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oci8.dll

Dump the php_oracle.dll completely if you can. You should need the
full-blown Oracle client for that anyway, it won't work with the
instantclient (as I recall). The Oracle extension is highly deprecated
in favour of the oci8 extension.

Talking of the big fat Oracle client, you can download it from here if
you need it:

Good luck,
