How to connect Laravel 8 to oracle 11g database?

Question

I'm trying to connect Laravel 8 to the Oracle 11g database, I tried all possible solutions but it didn't work. Here are my system properties:

1. Windows 8.1 64 bits.
2. Laravel 8.
3. Oracle 11g.
4. Xampp 64 bits.
5. PHP 7.4.10

This is the error message: C:\\xampp\\htdocs>composer require yajra/laravel-oci8 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_oci8_11g' (tried: C:\\xampp\\php\\ext\\php_oci8_11g (%1 is not a valid Win32 application.), C:\\xampp
php\\ext\\php_php_oci8_11g.dll (The specified module could not be found.)) in Unkn own on line 0 . . . The following image clarifies the problem:

Answer 1

您需要在 php.ini 文件中取消注释extension=oci8_12c并确保ext文件夹中的php_oci8_12c.dll文件。

Answer 2

Uncomment extension=oci8_12c by removing ; before it in you php.ini and then relaod php-fpm using service php-fpm restart or service php7-fpm restart replace 7 with your php version.

It seems it is moved to pecl , download dll file and place that in xampp\\php\\ext\\ directory. if exists replace it, restart your xampp and it should be okay now.
