Where are your network files located and how you tell PHP where to
find them.  Do you set ORACLE_HOME or TNS_ADMIN?  Where are they set?

At a wild guess, perhaps you are using putenv() in your scripts -
which is never recommended.  See page 106 of the current (1.5) version
of http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/underground-php-oracle-manual.pdf
on how to set environment variables.
