Each connection to a database for a particular type of data source (e.g. mySQL, Access) is stored in the class for that type. To set up new mySQL connections, for example, open the /classes/mySqlConn.class.php file and add each separate database connection as a function: example: function test() { $this->db = new mysqli('hostname', 'user', 'password', 'mydatabase' ); } When the test() method is called from the child class (mySqlObject.class.php), a connection to the database will be made and stored in the class property $this->db. This structure will allow you to have several connections configured and then just call on them when instantiating the child class with the second parameter. $obj = new mySqlObject('table_name','connection_name'); The function can be named anything you want it to be, as long as it is easy for you to remember. If you want to make a connection the default for that data source type, then make a call to it in the cnDefault() function for that class. function cnDefault() { $this->test(); } This will allow you make the connection to test without specifying the second parameter in a child class instantiation statement. $obj = new mySqlObject('table_name'); Custom connection types can be created by the user by creating a class for it. All connection classes implement the dbConn interface, since the cnDefault() method is a requirement.DataExploreMon, 28 May 2012 22:34:37 -0000https://sourceforge.net9483c9e178853d6c5a4117ee84c067aa8ebef425
