Loading data from external database

Hey there,

I'm trying to figure out if its possible to load data from another database besides the one used for the current big tree installation. I'll like to display some information from another database possibly hosted on another server. And if it is possible how would I go about it?

Sure, you would just need to manually make calls to a new mysqli object.

Hi Tim, I presume this works for more than one database too, right?

Yes, you can make as many mysqli object instances as you need to connect to multiple databases / servers.
