use this at the top of the file 
dl("php_oci8.dll");
it will solve your problem
comment out the extension=php_oci8.dll
as you are loading the library when the script is run
sample script
-------------
<?php
dl("php_oci8.dll");
PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=your_sid");
$connection = OCILogon ("username", "password");
$sql = "select sysdate from dual";
$cur = OCIParse($connection, $sql);
if($cur == false) {
        echo OCIError($cur)."<BR>";
}
$recset = OCIExecute($cur);
if($recset == false) {
        echo OCIError($cur). "<BR>";
}
while(OCIFetchInto($row)) {
        $today = $row[0];
        echo "The Date is ",$today, "<BR>";
}
OCILogoff ($connection);
?>
Hope this helps
