Hi.
I need help with this problem.
I need to connect more than one database using odbc from php.
I'm doing a wdb base aplication in php and I have to use odbc but I don't know how to make the connection to 2 database.
these is how I make a single connection.

define('DB_HOST', 'Bupa01');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root1');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'CWF');


$link = odbc_connect(DB_DATABASE, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if(!$link) {
die('Failed to connect to server!');
}


I have another database in the same server, the user and pw is same, the only thing that chanse is the database name.

please any help with that.

Thanks

I'm guessing you're using MySQL? If so, this isn't the right forum, although someone might be able to answer. Try sites where MySQL is discussed, such as:

http://www.dbforums.com/

Put you request in the appropriate forum. You'll likely get a quicker response there.

You have to create 2 link objects each for a different database.
for example
$link2 = odbc_connect(DB_DATABASE2, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
