Oracle 10g uses a different 'dll' than 11g does.
(php_oci8 versus php_oci8_11g.dll)

You can use the 10g version of the dll to connect to an
11.1g database or so it is claimed at:

http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8

I am guessing that you would have reduced functionality
 if you used the older dll.
(I never connect to anything higher than 10g)
