Duno what you want but from your description its working...$conn will return
a HANDLE to the connection and that is the "Resource id #5 " message.
On failure its shoudl return false which is correct also.
I think you want to change your script to return $conn to the main script to
be able to use it so
return; should be
return $conn;

Subject: unable to login to oracle database using php.
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 13:02:38 +0100 (BST)
Hi,
I have a small problem.
I am trying to connect to oracle using php.i get strange results.please see
the code below.
code:
function check_database($login,$password) {
global $db;
echo"checking authentication <br>";
$conn = ocilogon($login,$password,$db);
echo "$conn";
if (!$conn) {
echo("Error during ocilogon");
echo "<p>";
printLastError();
echo "</p>";
return;
}
echo" <br> after authentication";
}
if(isset($checkpass)) {
if(check_database($login, $password)) {
echo "<h2>Login Success!</h2>";
} else {
echo "<h2>Login Failed</h2><p>Bad username or password.Try again:";
}
}
in the above code for checking the authentication of login , there is some
value assigned to $conn,"Resource id #5 ". and also if(!$conn)is not
executed but after the funtion exit, the else statement (echo "<h2>Login
Failed</h2>) is executed.
can anyone tell me where the problem is.
