If both the databases are on the same database server, you can use the SQL command "USE dbname" to switch databases or use the full "path" like "dbone.tablename.columnname" and "dbtwo.tablename.columnname". Or you can use mysql_select_db() PHP function to switch databases on the same server. Assuming that you're talking about two different database servers, then you can just do two separate connections: $conn1 = mysql_connect($server1, $user, $pass); $conn2 = mysql_connect($server2, $user, $pass); $result1 = mysql_query($somequery, $conn1); $result2 = mysql_query($somequery, $conn2); Something like that. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek" <dmoon3@xxxxxxxxxx> To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:42:10 -0500 Subject: Updating 2 Databases from a single form > Hello, > > I was wondering if there is anyway to first connect to two databases > simeltaneously.
