Set Windows Path on PHP load

[slowfib]

Hey phpfreaks,

 

I've run in to a bit of an issue in order to use the Oracle php_oci8_11g.dll extension.

 

Issue is that, the extension doesn't load if my windows path has Oracle drivers, so for example this causes a conflict:

C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_2\bin;C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_2\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_2\jre\1.4.2\bin;C:\PHP\;C:\PHP\instantclient_11_2

 

But if the path is set to this, then it works perfectly fine:

C:\PHP\;C:\PHP\instantclient_11_2

 

So any idea if I can set a variable or parameter in the PHP.ini to use a specific PATH instead?

Or something else that would accomplish the same without having to change the Windows path every time I start up the web server?

 

Thanks.
