How to connect to a different database than the one set in config? - El Forum - 12-18-2011
[eluser]Emkay[/eluser]
I need to retrieve some data from a different database, perhaps on the same or different server on a particular page, how can I go about doing this? Ideally, I would like to remain connected to the main database is well.
Sorry if this is an obvious or dumb question.
