Why do you need to do ssh tunneling for your database? Are you not able to use a hostname or IP address?

This is not supported out of the box in CodeIgniter, as far as I know anyways.

This might be a good start for accomplishing this:

Probably going to have to write your own db driver for this. Or extend the existing one.

You can try the database DNS name.

The currently problem that i have, is that i have my codeigniter project on my machine, but the databases are not on my server computer. they are on another server. and i cannot connect to that database.

If you are on windows you can use putty to create an SSH tunnel to the database server.

I recommend just installing a database server on your local machine to do your development.
