two data base connections on one page

Hi, I'm playing around with phpwebsite that I down loaded.. and am creating my own pageto add to it phpwebsite creates a database connection and the page I am creating also needs a connection to a different database ... this is possible to do and on the same page ... I know this is probably in the manual .. but I am unsure of what to look for in there for it .. I'm using MySQL and mysql_connect shows nothing for what i need.. any idea's suggestions would be greatly appreciated Peter
