Hello Bob

I create thisbut not work

<?php
$options = array();
$options['driver']    = 'mysqli'; // Database driver name
$options['host']      = '...'; // Database host name
$options['user']      = 'root'; // User for database authentication
$options['password']  = '.....'; // Password for database authentication
$options['database']  = '.....'; // Database name



$db_list = mysql_list_dbs($con);

while ($db = mysql_fetch_object($db_list))
  {
  echo $db->Database . "<br />";
  }

// $options['prefix'] = ''); // probably not needed
$db = & JDatabase::getInstance($options);
$data = $db->loadObjectList();

?>

Thanks fo answer but in FAQ is how to connect to another base. I do not have this problem. My php code connect to server and show base list, it work perfect. Problem is how to show (list of bases)results in drop-down form or checkbox grup. How to connections this code with dropdown form

This is php code:

 <?php
     $con = mysql_connect("....", "...", "....");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

$db_list = mysql_list_dbs($con);

while ($db = mysql_fetch_object($db_list))
  {
  echo $db->Database . "<br />";
  }

mysql_close($con);
    ?>

Then we see list of databses on server:

information_schema
adrian_test
ahorst
all_users
cdcol
irek
kelvin_brandes
michas
mysql
ott_dane
phpmyadmin
skorut
test
tomek
users
wodz_old

PS This should work:

<?php
$options = array();
$options['driver']    = 'mysqli'; // Database driver name
$options['host']      = '...'; // Database host name
$options['user']      = 'root'; // User for database authentication
$options['password']  = '.....'; // Password for database authentication
$options['database']  = '.....'; // Database name
// $options['prefix'] = ''); // probably not needed

$db = & JDatabase::getInstance($options);
$tables = $db->getTableList();
?>
