The procedure entry point OCIStmlRelease could not be located PHP 5.6 OCI8 xammp

I am using php 5.6(Xammp Apache Server) with oracle 11g installed.My php to oracle connectivity was working fine until yesterday i suddenly got this error when i start Apache service from the Xammp Control Panel.I got this error message.

httpd.exe - Entry Point Not Found

the procedure entry point OCIStmlRelease could not be located in the dynamic link library E:\xammp\php\ext\php_oci8.dll

Here are the configurations which i have done
I have uncommitted the line in php.ini 

extension=php_oci8.dll

I have added following files in the php\ext folder

php_oci8.dll and php_oci8_11g.dll

I have installed the Oracle Instant Client 11g and added it's path in Environment Variables to 

C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2;

but still i am getting the above error when i start my Apache server from xammp control panel and if i connect to oci8 using php then i get this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect()

i have been searching for almost 3 days on this issue but still could not find anything.It will be really helpful if someone can help me out on this.

I have solved this problem by copying all the files from oracle instant 11g into the

php.exe

Folder because when we start the xammp then first of all it looks for the OCI libraries in the php.exe folder.

which is located in the xammp folder.
