Dynamically adding a database to codeigniter
I am working on an application codeigniter
to allow the user to add changes and modify the database.
I want to repeat this code for a loop:
$db['db1']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['db1']['username'] = 'ts4l_wp13';
$db['db1']['password'] = 'O&3D6c(0zD70.^9';
$db['db1']['database'] = 'ts4l_wp13';
$db['db1']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
$db['db1']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['db1']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
$db['db1']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['db1']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['db1']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['db1']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['db1']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db['db1']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['db1']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['db1']['stricton'] = FALSE;
I'm doing it:
@$get_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `database_name`");
while($getdata = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_data)){
$id='db'.$getdata['id'];
$iid="$id";
$db["$iid"]['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db["$iid"]['username'] = $getdata['username'];
$db["$iid"]['password'] = $getdata['password'];
$db["$iid"]['database'] = $getdata['name'];
$db["$iid"]['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
$db["$iid"]['dbprefix'] = '';
$db["$iid"]['pconnect'] = FALSE;
$db["$iid"]['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db["$iid"]['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db["$iid"]['cachedir'] = '';
$db["$iid"]['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db["$iid"]['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db["$iid"]['swap_pre'] = '';
$db["$iid"]['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db["$iid"]['stricton'] = FALSE;
}
and this block.
// Loading db and running query.
$CI = &get_instance();
$this->db1 = $CI->load->database('db1', TRUE);
$this->db1->set($data);
$this->db1->insert($this->_table_name);
$id=$this->db1->insert_id();
I'm doing it:
$this->load->model('mdb_m');
$dbms =$this->mdb_m->get();
if (count($dbms)) {
foreach ($dbms as $dbm) {
$mid=$dbm->id;
$dbc='db'.$mid;
$CI = &get_instance();
$this->db.$mid = $CI->load->database( "$dbc" , TRUE);
$this->db.$mid->set($data);
$this->db.$mid->insert($this->_table_name);
}
}
But it only inserts the first database into the array and then stops and retrieves this "You specified an invalid database connection group" error.

you can get brief information on using multiple databases here. As you mentioned. https://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/connecting.html
for a better approach you can make a loader to load the database. I was in the same problem and got a clear visualization from here
https://coderwall.com/p/_kyjvg/codeigniter-loading-up-multiple-databases
see here and if still confusing please come back to me, thanks.
