# Ora_Logon

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

Ora_Logon -- open an Oracle connection

## Description

int ora_logon ( string user, string password)

Establishes a connection between PHP and an Oracle database with the given username and password.

Connections can be made using SQL*Net by supplying the TNS name to `user` like this:

    $conn = Ora_Logon("user@TNSNAME", "pass");

If you have character data with non-ASCII characters, you should make sure that `NLS_LANG` is set in your environment. For server modules, you should set it in the server's environment before starting the server.

Returns a connection index on success, or `FALSE` on failure. Details about the error can be retrieved using the ora_error() and ora_errorcode() functions.
