First of I'm new here and I'm somewhat of a newbie at Xampp, Apache and PHP. While I wouldn't say I am an expert, I'm not a newbie at messing with computers or programming in general.
The issue
So I have a portable installation of Xampp v7.0.9 . Everything works fine with the bundled MySQL setup, but I'm having issues getting to a working setup with Oracle DB. I'm getting an error with oci.dll, as you will see below.
I have v10.2.0.1 of the full (not instant) Oracle Client installed (this is based on the version of oci.dll).
The PATH system variable points to the BIN of the Oracle Client i.e. C:\APP16\Oracle\Ora10g\client_1\BIN\
The ORACLE_HOME system variable is set to C:\APP16\Oracle\Ora10g\client_1
Details :

XAMPP installation path
C:\Data\pol\Apps\xampp\
any configuration changes made since installation
Did you execute some script? : I ran setup_xampp.bat to reset directories
Or used the XAMPP security script? : nope
Or changed anything in the config files? I un-comented the line "extension=php_pdo_oci.dll" in C:\Data\pol\Apps\xampp\php\php.ini
full qualified issue report
actions (What exactly do you do) : load Xampp Control Panel, then click to load Apache
expected reactions (What do you expect should happen) : Apache loads without errors
received reactions (What really happens) : I get this error message twice, "The procedure entry point OCILobClose could not be located in the dynamic link library OCI.dll"
XAMPP control panel log
Either from the XAMPP control panel log window itself or from the \xampp\control-panel.log file
---> I don't have this file... see Appache error log below
