er, you are not actually using the link identifiers.... try like this:


@ $db = mysql_connect("localhost", USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS);
if (!$db) {
print "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later."; exit; }
mysql_select_db(DATABASE, $db);
}

@ $userdb = mysql_connect("localhost", USERLOGIN, USERDBPASS);
if (!$userdb) {
print "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later."; exit; }
mysql_select_db(USERDB, $userdb);
}

$getaccount = "SELECT * FROM account WHERE visible=1"; //Account table is present in USERDB.
$result = mysql_query($getaccount, $userdb);

$get = "SELECT * FROM useraccount"; //UserAccount table is present in DATABASE.
$result = mysql_query($get, $db);
