MDB2/MySQL, multiple connections


I have a script that for the most part interacts with one mysql database.

However, when a certain function is called, I am now wanting to do an if{} and in the case of true connect to another mysql database and update a table. After this, other queries will be run on the original database.

What's the proper and most efficient way to do this?


Solution

  • Is't the way below?

    //do something with original db
    $conn->query(...);
    ...
    if (...) {
       // do someting with another db
       $another_conn->query(...);
       ...
    }
    $conn->query(...);
    ...
