Xampp, Windows10, Oracle 12c, php 7.1

Since I've seen a lot of posts about this matter and none of them seems to have the answer I need ('cause none of them worked for me) I'd like to ask, I'm running w10 with xamp 3.2.2, this xampp extension for oci8 is 12c, anyway I'm having a hard time making the adjustments so I can connect to oracle using yajra/laravel-oci8 for laravel...

I have downloaded the oracle database, downloaded the instant client 12.2 updated the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable, and nothing works, when I try the $ composer require yajra/laravel-oci8:"5.5.*", it says:

"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_oci8_12c' (tried: C:\xampp\php\ext\php_oci8_12c (No se puede encontrar el m▒dulo especificado. ), C:\xampp\php\ext\php_php_oci8_12c.dll (No se puede encontrar el m▒dulo especificado."

I don't get What I'm doing bad... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've had this issue before and if my memory serves me correct then you need to update your System Variable named "Path" to include the location of the Oracle Instant Client.

So it could look something like this:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\path\to\oracle_instant_client\folder
