How dynamic does your DDC need to be? I guess the question is, are you
building the connection based on user input and controller logic? If
not you can build whatever you need in the config/database.php file.
I replaced database.php with this code, and then created
database_production.php and database_testing.php.
if( stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],'productionDomainName.com')) {
include('database_production.php');
}else{
include('database_testing.php');
}
(I learned this trick from another post in this group... cant seem to
find it now)
This is a VERY simple example, not quite what I would call a DDC; But
maybe you can modify it for your needs.
