I am getting frustrated of the PHP 5 releases chocking on OCI8 -- they
just seem really unstable as do recent ISAPI filters when run on
Windows 2003 Server. As an example the newest PHP 5.1.4 install for
Windows I did with OCI8 failed to load the OCI8 extension -- I wound up
dropping and older version PHP_OCI8.DLL into my install and restarting
Apache and everthing was great.

I just downloaded and installed the new Zend Core for Oracle (windows)
which comes with the 5.1.4 PHP version except no Oracle problems. Is
anybody working with the Zend Core / OCI8 package that can shed some
light on the stability and any general gotcha's before I start
installing Zend over the stock PHP distro from php.net?

Any thoughts appreciated.
