I have read multiple question in the internet including this stackoverflow question but none of them working for me. Here is my code:

<?php

$conn1 = mysql_connect("localhost","root","passw0rd") or die(mysql_error());
$conn2 = mysql_connect("localhost","root","passw0rd") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("asteriskcdrdb",$conn1);
mysql_select_db("pj8v2",$conn2);

$query = "SELECT * FROM cdr";
$result = mysql_query($query,$conn1);

var_dump($result);

$query2 = "SELECT * FROM tb_did_avalaible";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$conn2);

var_dump($result2);

?>

When i var_dump the result, it return false. What is the problem here? Thank you.

    have you tried checking the error with echo mysql_error($conn1); ? Commented Nov 12, 2010 at 3:09

    Did you check the values of $conn1 and $conn2? What is the output from mysql_error after each failed mysql call? Commented Nov 12, 2010 at 3:11
  • thank for the help. i just figure out the problem. my mistake for not realize it sooner. Commented Nov 12, 2010 at 3:12
  • post your updated code, i guess u just have to mysql_select_db("pj8v2",$conn2); after the first mysql_query Commented Nov 12, 2010 at 5:14

You dont need two connections, if both databases are located on the same mysql-server and you access them both as unique user.

You also don't need to select a DB.
Just use the database-name as prefix when specifying the tables:

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost","root","pass") or die(mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT * FROM asteriskcdrdb.cdr";
$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());
var_dump($result);

$query2 = "SELECT * FROM pj8v2.tb_did_avalaible";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2)or die(mysql_error());
var_dump($result2);

?>

The real problem in your code is: there can only be one active DB, it should work this way:

<?php

$conn1 = mysql_connect("localhost","root","passw0rd") or die(mysql_error());   
$conn2 = mysql_connect("localhost","root","passw0rd",true) or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("asteriskcdrdb",$conn1);
$query = "SELECT * FROM cdr";
$result = mysql_query($query,$conn1);

var_dump($result);


mysql_select_db("pj8v2",$conn2);
$query2 = "SELECT * FROM tb_did_avalaible";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$conn2);

var_dump($result2);

?>

Altough there's no need for 2 connections, you can select both DB's using the same connection.

Sorry i just figure out the problem. If using same connection parameter, must add true in the connect parameter

$conn1 = mysql_connect("localhost","root","passw0rd") or die(mysql_error());
$conn2 = mysql_connect("localhost","root","passw0rd",true) or die(mysql_error());

i dont think opening 2 connection is necessary in your situation

Don't use mysql connector, use mysqli. It is more secure compared to mysql.

the code would be. 

$conn1  = new mysqli("localhost","user","password","db1");
$conn2  = new mysqli("localhost","user","password","db2");

$query1 = "select * from table1";
$query2 = "select * from table2";

echo $query1 . "<br />";
echo $query2 . "<br />";

$rs1 = $conn1->query($query1);
$rs2 = $conn2->query($query1);

Also check if the the query is correct. Most of the times the error is in the query and not the syntax.

If you're going to recommend ditching one connection option in favour of another, then it really should be PDO_MySql
