-<h1>Connecting to your Database</h1>
-
-<p>There are two ways to connect to a database:</p>
-
-<h2>Automatically Connecting</h2>
-
-<p>The "auto connect" feature will load and instantiate the database class with every page load.
-To enable "auto connecting", add the word <var>database</var> to the library array, as indicated in the following file:</p>
-
-<p><kbd>application/config/autoload.php</kbd></p>
-
-<h2>Manually Connecting</h2>
-
-<p>If only some of your pages require database connectivity you can manually connect to your database by adding this
-line of code in any function where it is needed, or in your class constructor to make the database
-available globally in that class.</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->database();</code>
-
-<p class="important">If the above function does <strong>not</strong> contain any information in the first parameter it will connect
-to the group specified in your database config file. For most people, this is the preferred method of use.</p>
-
-<h3>Available Parameters</h3>
-
-<ol>
- <li>The database connection values, passed either as an array or a DSN string.</li>
- <li>TRUE/FALSE (boolean). Whether to return the connection ID (see Connecting to Multiple Databases below).</li>
- <li>TRUE/FALSE (boolean). Whether to enable the Active Record class. Set to FALSE by default.</li>
-</ol>
-
-
-<h3>Manuallly Connecting to a Database</h3>
-
-<p>The first parameter of this function can <strong>optionally</strong> be used to specify a particular database group
-from your config file, or you can even submit connection values for a database that is not specified in your config file.
-Examples:</p>
-
-<p>To choose a specific group from your config file you can do this:</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->database('<samp>group_name</samp>');</code>
-
-<p>Where <samp>group_name</samp> is the name of the connection group from your config file.</p>
-
-
-<p>To connect manually to a desired database you can pass an array of values:</p>
-
-<code>$config['hostname'] = "localhost";<br />
-$config['username'] = "myusername";<br />
-$config['password'] = "mypassword";<br />
-$config['database'] = "mydatabase";<br />
-$config['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br />
-$config['dbprefix'] = "";<br />
-$config['pconnect'] = FALSE;<br />
-$config['db_debug'] = TRUE;<br />
-$config['cache_on'] = FALSE;<br />
-$config['cachedir'] = "";<br />
-$config['char_set'] = "utf8";<br />
-$config['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";<br />
-<br />
-$this->load->database(<samp>$config</samp>);</code>
-
-<p>For information on each of these values please see the <a href="configuration.html">configuration page</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Or you can submit your database values as a Data Source Name. DSNs must have this prototype:</p>
-
-<code>$dsn = 'dbdriver://username:password@hostname/database';<br />
-<br />
-$this->load->database(<samp>$dsn</samp>);</code>
-
-<p>To override default config values when connecting with a DSN string, add the config variables as a query string.</p>
-
-<code>$dsn = 'dbdriver://username:password@hostname/database?char_set=utf8&amp;dbcollat=utf8_general_ci&amp;cache_on=true&amp;cachedir=/path/to/cache';<br />
-<br />
-$this->load->database(<samp>$dsn</samp>);</code>
-
-<h2>Connecting to Multiple Databases</h2>
-
-<p>If you need to connect to more than one database simultaneously you can do so as follows:</p>
-
-
-<code>$DB1 = $this->load->database('group_one', TRUE);<br />
-$DB2 = $this->load->database('group_two', TRUE);
-</code>
-
-<p>Note: Change the words "group_one" and "group_two" to the specific group names you are connecting to (or
-you can pass the connection values as indicated above).</p>
-
-<p>By setting the second parameter to TRUE (boolean) the function will return the database object.</p>
-
-<div class="important">
-<p>When you connect this way, you will use your object name to issue commands rather than the syntax used throughout this guide. In other words, rather than issuing commands with:</p>
-
-<p>$this->db->query();<br />$this->db->result();<br /> etc...</p>
-
-<p>You will instead use:</p>
-
-<p>$DB1->query();<br />$DB1->result();<br /> etc...</p>
