wookie Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've got a forum and gallery software each with their own mysql database on the same host. If I want to call info from the galleries database to be used in the forum, from within the forum itself, how would I do this? Do I need to specify database user and pass similar to this: $dbuser="####"; $dbpass="####"; $dbname="####"; $chandle = mysql_connect("localhost", $dbuser, $dbpass) or die("Connection Failure to Database"); Or is there a simpler way to achieve this? Many thanks Wookie. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/86291-solved-calling-from-one-database-to-another/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 No, you just need to use mysql_select_db to switch between the different databases using the same connection.
