Extern Server

Hi,
I have two servers, and I want one Server to be able to open a connection to another server similar to:

int mysql_connect ([string hostname [:port] [:/path/to/socket] [, string username [, string password]]])

but I have an Oracle 8 databank.
so

OCILogon (string username, string password [, string db])

can somebody explain more detailed in what format $db is?

Would this solve my problem?

Pam.

$db is a string that represents an entry in your tnsnames.ora file.

In order to use oracle you will have to install the client libraries on the php machine and set up your tnsnames.ora file.
