ciao a tutti,
sto installando php - apache - oracle e per abilitare le estensioni OCI8 su php la guida riporta quanto segue piu in basso.. però non trovo nessuna variabile d'ambiente seguendo il percorso Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables...
diciamo che tutta la parte che ho riportato non mi è chiara.. qualcuno mi fa luce?


Download the "Instant Client Package - Basic" for Windows from the OTN Instant Client page.

Unzip the Instant Client to c:\instantclient_11_1

Edit the PATH environment setting and add c:\instantclient_11_1 before any other Oracle directories. For example, on Windows XP, follow Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and edit PATH in the System variables list.

Set desired Oracle globalization language environment variables such as NLS_LANG. If nothing is set, a default local environment will be assumed. See An Overview on Globalizing Oracle PHP Applications for more details.

Unset Oracle variables such as ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID, which are unnecessary with Instant Client.
