DB multible db connections

We're running PHP 4.1.2, with apache 1.3.26, and MySQL 3.23.41, running on a Redhat 7.3 server. I'm having a problem using persistent database connections. I'm trying to set up a number of database connections. All the databases are on the same server. If I set up N connections and I try to query from Connection 1, it attempts the query on database N, and it will return a DB_ERROR object usually stating that the 'table doesn't exists in the database'. This is a rather annoying bug, and I've yet to find a solution. IF I print_r() a connection resource, it will dump all of the objects properties and the database name is properly set. However, running a query will always run on the last connection made. I've run this with and without persistent connections and with to success have I had this to work. The only thing I can do is open a connection, query, dump results, close connection every time I want to use a different database. This is obviously not efficient. Can anybody help? Does PHP 4.3 solve this problem? By the way this is what's give by phpinfo(); mysql.allow_persistent On On mysql.default_host no value no value mysql.default_password no value no value mysql.default_port no value no value mysql.default_socket no value no value mysql.default_user no value no value mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited -phil ------------------ Philip Shafer Web Programmer Information Resources Rowan University 856-256-4418 shafer@rowan.edu
