note 63489 deleted from function.oci-connect by bjori

Note Submitter: jerry ---- The PHP documentation has led me to believe that "oci_connect() returns a connection identifier needed for most other OCI calls" (verbatim from the docs). For the sake of simplicity in this example, I just want to connect then close the connection. However, my call to oci_close() doesn't like what oci_connect() returned.....thinking it's a boolean value instead of the "resource" as shown at: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-connect.php Can anyone offer suggestions? here's my code: #!/usr/local/bin/php <? $conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', '//server:1521/dbname') || die("Could not connect to Oracle database"); var_dump($conn); oci_close($conn); ?> here's the output: bool(true) Warning: oci_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /my/problem/script on line 5 I know it's actually talking to the server because it gives me a logon failure when use invalid username/password..
