<h1>Connecting to your Database</h1> |
|
62 |
||
63 |
<p>There are two ways to connect to a database:</p> |
|
64 |
||
65 |
<h2>Automatically Connecting</h2> |
|
66 |
||
67 |
<p>The "auto connect" feature will load and instantiate the database class with every page load. |
|
68 |
To enable "auto connecting", add the word <var>database</var> to the library array, as indicated in the following file:</p> |
|
69 |
||
70 |
<p><kbd>application/config/autoload.php</kbd></p> |
|
71 |
||
72 |
<h2>Manually Connecting</h2> |
|
73 |
||
74 |
<p>If only some of your pages require database connectivity you can manually connect to your database by adding this |
|
75 |
line of code in any function where it is needed, or in your class constructor to make the database |
|
76 |
available globally in that class.</p> |
|
77 |
||
78 |
<code>$this->load->database();</code> |
|
79 |
||
80 |
<p class="important">If the above function does <strong>not</strong> contain any information in the first parameter it will connect |
|
81 |
to the group specified in your database config file. For most people, this is the preferred method of use.</p> |
|
82 |
||
83 |
<h3>Available Parameters</h3> |
|
84 |
||
85 |
<ol> |
|
86 |
<li>The database connection values, passed either as an array or a DSN string.</li> |
|
87 |
<li>TRUE/FALSE (boolean). Whether to return the connection ID (see Connecting to Multiple Databases below).</li> |
|
88 |
<li>TRUE/FALSE (boolean). Whether to enable the Active Record class. Set to TRUE by default.</li> |
|
89 |
</ol> |
|
90 |
||
91 |
||
92 |
<h3>Manually Connecting to a Database</h3> |
|
93 |
||
94 |
<p>The first parameter of this function can <strong>optionally</strong> be used to specify a particular database group |
|
95 |
from your config file, or you can even submit connection values for a database that is not specified in your config file. |
|
96 |
Examples:</p> |
|
97 |
||
98 |
<p>To choose a specific group from your config file you can do this:</p> |
|
99 |
||
100 |
<code>$this->load->database('<samp>group_name</samp>');</code> |
|
101 |
||
102 |
<p>Where <samp>group_name</samp> is the name of the connection group from your config file.</p> |
|
103 |
||
104 |
||
105 |
<p>To connect manually to a desired database you can pass an array of values:</p> |
|
106 |
||
107 |
<code>$config['hostname'] = "localhost";<br /> |
|
108 |
$config['username'] = "myusername";<br /> |
|
109 |
$config['password'] = "mypassword";<br /> |
|
110 |
$config['database'] = "mydatabase";<br /> |
|
111 |
$config['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br /> |
|
112 |
$config['dbprefix'] = "";<br /> |
|
113 |
$config['pconnect'] = FALSE;<br /> |
|
114 |
$config['db_debug'] = TRUE;<br /> |
|
115 |
$config['cache_on'] = FALSE;<br /> |
|
116 |
$config['cachedir'] = "";<br /> |
|
117 |
$config['char_set'] = "utf8";<br /> |
|
118 |
$config['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";<br /> |
|
119 |
<br /> |
|
120 |
$this->load->database(<samp>$config</samp>);</code> |
|
121 |
||
122 |
<p>For information on each of these values please see the <a href="configuration.html">configuration page</a>.</p> |
|
123 |
||
124 |
<p>Or you can submit your database values as a Data Source Name. DSNs must have this prototype:</p> |
|
125 |
||
126 |
<code>$dsn = 'dbdriver://username:password@hostname/database';<br /> |
|
127 |
<br /> |
|
128 |
$this->load->database(<samp>$dsn</samp>);</code> |
|
129 |
||
130 |
<p>To override default config values when connecting with a DSN string, add the config variables as a query string.</p> |
|
131 |
||
132 |
<code>$dsn = 'dbdriver://username:password@hostname/database?char_set=utf8&dbcollat=utf8_general_ci&cache_on=true&cachedir=/path/to/cache';<br /> |
|
133 |
<br /> |
|
134 |
$this->load->database(<samp>$dsn</samp>);</code> |
|
135 |
||
136 |
<h2>Connecting to Multiple Databases</h2> |
|
137 |
||
138 |
<p>If you need to connect to more than one database simultaneously you can do so as follows:</p> |
|
139 |
||
140 |
||
141 |
<code>$DB1 = $this->load->database('group_one', TRUE);<br /> |
|
142 |
$DB2 = $this->load->database('group_two', TRUE);
|
|
143 |
</code> |
|
144 |
||
145 |
<p>Note: Change the words "group_one" and "group_two" to the specific group names you are connecting to (or |
|
146 |
you can pass the connection values as indicated above).</p> |
|
147 |
||
148 |
<p>By setting the second parameter to TRUE (boolean) the function will return the database object.</p> |
|
149 |
||
150 |
<div class="important"> |
|
151 |
<p>When you connect this way, you will use your object name to issue commands rather than the syntax used throughout this guide. In other words, rather than issuing commands with:</p> |
|
152 |
||
153 |
<p>$this->db->query();<br />$this->db->result();<br /> etc...</p> |
|
154 |
||
155 |
<p>You will instead use:</p> |
|
156 |
||
157 |
<p>$DB1->query();<br />$DB1->result();<br /> etc...</p> |
|
158 |
||
159 |
</div> |
|
160 |
||
161 |
<h2>Reconnecting / Keeping the Connection Alive</h2> |
|
162 |
||
163 |
<p>If the database server's idle timeout is exceeded while you're doing some heavy PHP lifting (processing an image, for instance), you should consider pinging the server by using the <dfn>reconnect()</dfn> method before sending further queries, which can gracefully keep the connection alive or re-establish it.</p> |
|
164 |
||
165 |
<code>$this->db->reconnect();</code> |
|
166 |
||
167 |
<h2>Manually closing the Connection</h2> |
|
168 |
||
169 |
<p>While CodeIgniter intelligently takes care of closing your database connections, you can explicitly close the connection.</p> |
|
170 |
||
171 |
<code>$this->db->close();</code> |
|
172 |
</div> |
