Hi, I am connecting to two database in my index.php. Here is how: @ $db = mysql_connect("localhost", USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS); if (!$db) { print "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later."; exit; } mysql_select_db(DATABASE); @ $userdb = mysql_connect("localhost", USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS); if (!$userdb) { print "Error: Could not connect to database.

I know you need to use link identifiers, but have had no luck in getting it to work. Appreciate your help.

er, you are not actually using the link identifiers.... try like this: @ $db = mysql_connect("localhost", USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS); if (!$db) { print "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later."; exit; } mysql_select_db(DATABASE, $db); } @ $userdb = mysql_connect("localhost", USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS); if (!$userdb) { print "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later."; exit; } mysql_select_db(USERDB, $userdb); } $getaccount = "SELECT * FROM account WHERE visible=1"; //Account table is present in USERDB. $result = mysql_query($getaccount, $userdb); $get = "SELECT * FROM useraccount"; //UserAccount table is present in DATABASE. $result = mysql_query($get, $db);
