You can do this dynamically in CodeIgniter. All you need to know is what the name is of the database you wish to connect to. Let's assume that your database name is stored in a variable called $user_db. Connecting to that database could look like this using CodeIgniter.

Code:
$config_db['hostname'] = "localhost";

$config_db['username'] = $username;

$config_db['password'] = $password;

$config_db['database'] = $user_db;

$config_db['dbdriver'] = "mysql";

$config_db['dbprefix'] = "";

$config_db['pconnect'] = TRUE;

$config_db['db_debug'] = TRUE;

$config_db['cache_on'] = FALSE;

$config_db['cachedir'] = "";

$config_db['char_set'] = "utf8";

$config_db['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";

$this->load->database($config_db);

There are other parameters you can pass in the latter load function, which you can find in the user guide (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...cting.html).

I hope this helps.
