Cannot get netbeans to see php_oci8_12c.dll

[Neil Currie <nc...@yahoo.co.uk.INVALID>]

I can run phpinfo() as
http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php
and it works fine, and shows my OC8i config.
When I try any PHP in NetBeans I get :
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'oci8_12c' (tried: E:\xampp\php\ext\oci8_12c (The specified procedure could not be found.), E:\xampp\php\ext\php_oci8_12c.dll (The specified procedure could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0
Red colour and italics are mine.
my php.ini does have
extension_dir="E:\xampp\php\ext"
uncommented, and 'php_oci8_12c.dll ' is located thetre, and I can run PHP queries from a web page, just not from within Netbeans.
Netbeans:

What do I need to do to make NetBeans work.
