How to connect to a DB while connected to another?

camarosource

I have a MYSQL database that my PHP script connects to and in this script I have a "WHILE" statement. In this WHILE statement I also want it to connect to another completely different database to look up information while of course still being in the WHILE execution and the database..

How can I do this without interrupting the connection to the other database? Thanks

Maintain two connection objects. However, why use a second database in the first place?

Cause I'm have a database with one information, and want to use the php to look up information in a database from a program I installed (Not one of mine).
