Meethoo as it says in the PHP documentation, you can access a MySQL server whether it's on the same machine as the PHP install or not.
ie. mysql_connect('localhost', $user, $pass) OR mysql_connect('111.111.111.111', $user, $pass) Beau // -----Original Message----- // From: Meethoo Salim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Thursday, 1 August 2002 3:24 PM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: [PHP-DB] php mysql external server // // // hello there , // i have my Mysql server installed on a different machine- how // ca li access // it? // can someone help me out please // regards // // // // -- // PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) // To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php // -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
