The ocilogon() function should have in third parameter something like $db="(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=HOST_HERE)(PORT=PORT_HERE) ) ) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DATABASE_NAME_HERE)) )";
and two variables must be "able" on script.. putenv("ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle"); and ORACLE_SID putenv("ORACLE_SID", "ORACLE_SID_HERE"); hope that helps --Marcelo --- Martin McCormick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: > I installed the FreeBSD port of php4.3.4.
