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?
