No.

Oracle:

php_oci8.dll
php_oci8_11g.dll
php_pdo_oci.dll

Sybase:

php_sybase_ct.dll

I guess you have these extensions *active* in your PHP.INI and therefore
those extensions - and not PEAR - complaint about missing DLLs, since
the Oracle extensions need OCI.DLL (Oracle client library) to work and
the Sybase extenion need LIBCS.DLL (Sybase client library). PHP does not
implement it's own Oracle or Sybase clients - the extension only access
the existing database clients.

Just disable these extensions in your PHP.INI and restart the IIS.
