How do you connect to multiple MySQL databases on a single webpage?

Question

I have information spread out across a few databases and want to put all the information onto one webpage using PHP. I was wondering how I can connect to multiple databases

Answer 1

Try below code:

    $conn = mysql_connect("hostname","username","password");
    mysql_select_db("db1",$conn);
    mysql_select_db("db2",$conn);

    $query1 = "SELECT * FROM db1.table";
    $query2 = "SELECT * FROM db2.table";

You can fetch data of above query from both database as below

$rs = mysql_query($query1);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
    $data1[] = $row;
}

$rs = mysql_query($query2);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
    $data2[] = $row;
}

print_r($data1);
print_r($data2);
