Retrieving Data from Two Different Databases


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello All,

Ran into another problem and would appreciate some help! I have two databases, publications_db (pub_id, title, author, yr, journal, num_pages) and activity_db(member_id,pub_id,date). Basically, when a user is logged in, I want to have an option for them to view the publications they have submitted to the publication database.

Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
In pseudocode, I want to display * from publications_db where the session_id (currently logged in user) matches the activity_db.member id AND activity_db.pub_id matches publications_db.pub_id

Below is the code I was writing although I am sure it is completely off because I am quite new to this stuff! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Quote$dbhost="localhost";
$dbuser="****";
$dbpass="***";
$dbname1="publications_db";
$dbname2="activity_db";
$db1=mssql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
mssql_select_db($dbname1,$db1);
mssql_select_db($dbname2,$db1);

$query="SELECT * FROM publications_db P, activity_db A WHERE $_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'] = A.member_id AND A.pub_id = P.pub_id;";

echo "<table border cellpadding=2>";

while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $query ))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>ID:</th><td>".$info['pub_id'] . "</td> ";
echo "<th>Title:</th> <td>".$info['title'] . " </td>";
echo "<th>Author:</th> <td>".$info['author'] . " </td>";
echo "<th>Year:</th> <td>".$info['yr'] . " </td>";
echo "<th>Journal:</th> <td>".$info['journal'] . " </td>";
echo "<th>Pages:</th> <td>".$info['num_pages'] . " </td></tr>";

}

echo "</table>
";
echo "$count_entry Total Entries";

?>
