Hi, it seems that you have same issue than I just had. This seem to work. In this case connection params are coming from session.

public static function CreateDatabaseConnection(){
	
	Config::set('database.connections.dbconnection', array(
		'driver'    => 'mysql',
		'host'      => '10.0.3.2',
		'port' 		=> Session::get('db_port'),
		'database'  => Session::get('db_name'),
		'username'  => Session::get('db_user'),
		'password'  => Session::get('db_pswd'),
		'charset'   => 'utf8',
		'collation' => 'utf8_swedish_ci',
		'prefix'    => '',
	));
	Config::set('database.default', 'dbconnection');

	try{
		$users = DB::select('SELECT * FROM users', array());
	}catch(\Exception $e){
		Log::error('CreateDatabaseConnection Exception:'.$e->getMessage());
		return false;
	}
	return true;
}

After creating connection, you can use it as it default connection. If you want to keep your default connection as it is, just remove line: Config::set('database.default', 'dbconnection') and call your connection like this:

DB::connection('dbconnection')->table('users')->get();

Basically it's just how configuration seem to work, this is also worth of reading: http://laravel.com/docs/configuration Hope this helps!
