Re: Native connection to Oracle from PHP 4.0.6

Ricky, You would use the oci* functions, not the the ora* ones. oci* are used with Oracle 8 or Oracle 7 (need net8). ora* are older and now -obsolete-. $dbh =OCILogon($oracleusername, $oraclepassword,$db) See previous threads in this newsgroup about "oracle" vs "oci8".
