PHP 4.4.4 and external Oracle database

[russ_c]

Okay, I'm new to PHP so this might be a basic question, but I can't seem to find the proper syntax anywhere...

 

I want to connect from my webserver to an external Oracle database on another host.  My server is running PHP 4.4.4 so I believe I need to use the deprecated ora commands:

 

ora_logon();

 

I found the command here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ora-logon.php and it has the syntax but I am not sure how to supple the command with the external server's IP address and port number for the oracle database.  I seems to only take the tnsname...

 

Can anyone help on this?

 

Thanks for your time,
