load->database not working

Hi,
I have 2 database configs in config/database.php, default and opentimes
$active_group = 'default'

I load opentimes with $db1 = $this->load->database('opentimes');
A simple query $db1->query(sql stuff) fails with 'none object' errors

If in the config I make the $active_group = 'opentimes' then the same query works....


Ed..

Have you tried setting the second parameter to TRUE?

PHP Code:

$db1 = $this->load->database('opentimes', TRUE); 


This allows you to connect to multiple databases simultaneously. Without the second parameter, $this->load->database() is likely returning FALSE because you're already connected to a database (probably via autoload).

Yes, setting TRUE worked...
