RE: [PHP-WIN] PHP and Multiple databases

Yes you can. I'd say the major annoyance is that each database has it's own functions that you have to learn. There are some projects to create a uniform database wrapper classes. andrew -----Original Message----- From: Scott Ellis [mailto:vse@vsellis.com] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 08:43 To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] PHP and Multiple databases I am fairly new to PHP and have used it on a few sites but I have not been dealing with databases much (in PHP). I am wanting to know if a single instance of PHP can be configured to connect to multiple databases or does is a new instance required for each DB. The scenario is that I may be pulling content from multiple databases (Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server...) for a single web site. I am not looking for any involved explanations just a simple yes or no and any reference points you may have from experience on how (at a high level) and if there are any "tricky parts" that might make the process painful.
