Hi,

I have created an application in which I would like to select database  
runtime. Actually I have created numbers of subdomains and as per the  
subdomain the database should be selected on the conditional base  
whatever the domain name is received in url . In short as per the  
domain the database should be connected in mysql. Please suggest me  
the possible way to overcome this problem.

Thanks in Advance
