I have oraclient software on our web server and our database on another machine. I have looked at the documentation on making a conection to an Oracle database but the parameters for OCILogon, OCIPLogon and OCINLogon don't accept the machine name that holds the database Ie. $c1 = ocilogon("user","password", "instance"); Can someone give me an example of how to connect to a remote database using PHP and oracle 8i?
