--Yes! That's -exactly- what I've been trying to explain. :)
That's the -best- way I can think of retrieving the info from a remote
database, unless you allowed remote access directly to the database,
which could be a security issue.

thanks CC,
are you saying that i can grab the output of your echo() statements in
YOUR PHP script by Fopen()ing your URL in MY script and then Fread()ing
that resulting file pointer? IF so,, is this done much? or are there
easier more stable less error-prone ways to access remote databases?
Suppose I had a MUSIC database that you wanted your site visitors to be
able to query,and it was OK with me because you had a MOVIE database
that i wanted MY site visitors to be able to query, would we set it up
this way?
