Connecting to database on the fly

[eluser]Azhari Harahap[/eluser]
Hi.

Is there any way to connecting to database on the fly?

For example, i have form contain username, password, host, database name, it's used to connect to the database, when form submitted, i want to connect to database temporarily, do some query (create database), then later i save it (username, password, host, db) to the database.php file.

Why not just write the settings to the database.php file and then try to connect with the settings within the file ?

Sorry, I read over the creating a database part just then. Unless your making an application like phpMyAdmin I would suggest strongly against having the script create a database on the server. You should create one before running the script and specify what it is. It's very possible to do what you want, although from a security standpoint, just don't.
