Yes you can. I'd say the major annoyance is that each database has it's
own functions that you have to learn. There are some projects to create
a uniform database wrapper classes.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] PHP and Multiple databases

I am fairly new to PHP and have used it on a few sites but I have not
been
dealing with databases much (in PHP). I am wanting to know if a single
instance of PHP can be configured to connect to multiple databases or
does
is a new instance required for each DB. The scenario is that I may be
pulling content from multiple databases (Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server...)
for
a single web site.

I am not looking for any involved explanations just a simple yes or no
and
any reference points you may have from experience on how (at a high
level)
and if there are any "tricky parts" that might make the process
painful.

Thanks,
Scott
