[snip] I am new to PHP and am trying to learn how it works. We have a PHP program that is using MySQL. We are wanting to use our Oracle database instead. The Oracle database is on a different server that our PHP program. Does any one know how I can change connections from MySQL to Oracle? We have this line in our dba.php....... $tli_connection = dbconnect($dsn, $user, $pass); In our config.php we have the following that defines the above............ $dsn = "some.where.com"; // MySQL hostname (something@somewhere.someextension) $user = "MYSQL USER NAME GOES HERE"; // Username with sufficient rights to the DB - need update, select, delete, insert only $pass = "MYSQL PASSWORD FOR ABOVE USER"; // Password for the above user [/snip] The first place is to look in the manual http://www.php.net/oracle For a connection; http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ora-plogon.php
