Codeigniter ignoring $this->db->close() ?

IIRC it's because of the way CI handles loading. Even if the database is closed, the $this->database variable isn't unset, so the database isn't reloaded, even though you specify a different one. You should be able to get around it with:

Code:

$this->db = $this->load->database('absamp', TRUE);

Although, because they're separate databases I would probably separate them.

Code:

$this->_db = $this->load->database('absamp', TRUE);
