title: how to connect oracle database with xampp?
body: <p>I download the XAMPP Windows 1.8.2 and oracle instant client 12.1.</p>
  
  <p>Then, I  unzip the oracle instant client file, edit the PATH environment setting, and edit <code>PATH</code> in the System variables list by adding instant client's path.</p>
  
  <p>I find <code>string ;extension=php_oci8.dll. Remove the semicolon (;) from the begining of the string to activate the oracle extension and save it.</code></p>
  
  <p>Then I restart xampp but I cannot find oci8 in phpinfo.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me to save the problem.</p>
