According to the PHP website, "You have to compile PHP with the option --with-oracle[=DIR], where DIR defaults to your environment variable ORACLE_HOME." But I think that only works if you have Linux, I'll try to find you a Windows solution, if you dont have Linux.

for windows i think that there should be dll library, which you have to activate in php.ini configuration file

I think it's called oci8.dll look for that in your php.ini file and make sure that its not commented.
