oci_new_connect
    (PHP 5)
oci_new_connect -- Establishes a new connection to the Oracle server
Description
resource 
oci_new_connect ( string username, string password [, string db])
     oci_new_connect() creates a new connection to an Oracle
     server and logs on. The optional third parameter can either contain the name
     of the local Oracle instance or the name of the entry in 
     tnsnames.ora. If the third parameter is not specified,
     PHP uses environment variables ORACLE_SID and 
     TWO_TASK to determine the name of local Oracle
     instance and location of tnsnames.ora accordingly.
    
     oci_new_connect() forces the creation of a new connection.
     This should be used if you need to isolate a set of transactions. By
     default, connections are shared and subsequent calls to
     oci_connect() will return the same connection
     identifier.
    
     The following demonstrates how you can separate connections.

 $db = "";
 
 $c1 = oci_connect("scott", "tiger", $db);
 $c2 = oci_new_connect("scott", "tiger", $db);

 {
 $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "create table scott.hallo (test
 varchar2(64))");
 oci_execute($stmt);
 echo $conn . " created table\n\n";
 }
 
 function drop_table($conn)
 {
 $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "drop table scott.hallo");
 oci_execute($stmt);
 echo $conn . " dropped table\n\n";

     oci_new_connect() returns FALSE on error.
    
Note: 
       In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocinlogon() instead. 
       This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
       oci_new_connect() for downwards compatability. 
       This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
