Re: Database connections with custom classes

[John Zimmerman]

I have used classes within my CakePHP controllers that connect to the database independently of the Cake database connection code.

I posted a snippet that will get me the database configuration details in dsn format that I can pass to the class when I create an instance of it.  If your classes accept the dsn format you can use the snippet directly, just place the function in your app_controller.php.  If you don't use the dsn format you can create a similar function that gets you the format you need based on the code in the snippet.

You can find the snippet here...
