Joining tables from 2 different connection strings
- by krio
Hello,
I need to join two tables from different MySQL (PHP) connection strings and different databases.
$conn = mysql_connect('192.168.30.20', 'user', 'pass');
$conn2 = mysql_connect('anotherIPHere', 'user2', 'pass2');
$db = mysql_select_db('1stdb', $conn);
$db2 = mysql_select_db('2nddb', $conn2);
If I were using the same connection I would just prefix the tables with the db names, such as database1.table1.column and database2.table2.column2, but since I'm using two completely separate connection strings the MySQL Query does not know which connection string to use, thus the resource is not usable.
I've read a ton of resources that show how to use two databases, from the SAME connection string and that is working fine, but I can't find anything related to multiple connection strings and databases.
Thanks
