Dynamic database switching in cakephp 1.1.x
I'm trying to add a database config and use it after init. It's for an application that numerous clients will use. Each with it's own database. During login a master database is queried for a users corresponding company database and the application should switch to that database. Is this possible? (and if not, can I write a behaviour to create that possibility?) Mark --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Search the google group for some info on how to create dynamic database switching, it's in there.

Hey Mark,
So I'm pretty sure some of the functions I used are specific to 1.2.
But you can try. I'll give you a basic overview of what I did.
I made a componant, and inside the componant in the initialize
method.. I do this:
(all the connection data is stored in a Client Model, that I load with
loadModel)
$newDb =
ConnectionManager::create('myconn_name',
array('driver' = 'mysql'
,'host'
= $client-data['Client']['db_host']
,'login'
= $client-data['Client']['db_login']
,'password' =
$client-data['Client']['db_password']
,'database' =
$client-data['Client']['db_name']
,'persistent' = false
And then in my app_model I set
var $useDbConfig = 'myconn_name';
Again, I'm not sure at all how well this will work in 1.1
