Question

I need to connect to another mysql database I am doing following

    $dsn = "{$dbdriver}://$vars[username]:$vars[password]@$vars[hostname]/$vars[database]";

    $db2 = $this->EE->load->database($dsn, true);
    $res = $db2->from('categories')->get()->result_array();

But I get error message Fatal error: Call to a member function result_array() on a non-object

That is third party script so db connection already made early. Then that script should connect to another db but 1st db connection already created

$dsn contains correct data. Why I get this error?
Thanks

I have figured it out. The query should contains additional param db_debug=1 so the dsn string should look like

$dsn = "mysql://$vars[username]:$vars[password]@$vars[hostname]/$vars[database]?db_debug=1";
