[thelist] PHP/Oracle Connect Problems....

[Dean Mah]

Do you have a global_names, or something like that, defined in your
sqlnet.ora file?  Try appending that name to your service name.  For
example, mlocr_user at mlocr.host.com.

I'm not a PHP programmer, but can you specify the connection as
mlocr_user/password at mlocr?
