I found out why WAMPSERVER can not connect to Oracle without apache crashing...
Once I did the following I had no problems...
And this does fix more than just my issue with PHP & Apache connecting to Oracle.
I'm running the most currest version which is using PHP 5.12
okay a couple of ref points:
follow this forum:
[
phpbuilder.com]
and this is a sample of my connection string, connecting to Oracle Database Express Edition:
$db_conn = OCILogon( "hr", "hr", "//localhost:1521/XE"

;
Basically PHP reengineered the php_oci8.dll
So you just need to replace the .dll in the ext (extension) directory with the new one, which you can find here:
[
pecl4win.php.net]
For more reading, read at the bottom of this page:

WAMPSERVER ROCKS!
Hope that helps someone out there,
