note 41303 added to function.ora-plogon

I m using ora_plogon for oracle 8 DB connection. Recently, I encountered an error "TNS- unable to resolve the service name". My DBA suggested to use the ociplogon and by-pass the TNS. But the problem was resolved by re-boot the apache server. My question is "Any different of using ora_plogon and ociplogon" ? Will ociplogon resolve the above problem and stable the DB connection ? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ora-plogon.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41303 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41303&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41303&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
