If your database server is on a remote server then expect the page to take
even longer to render since it will take time to send the database query
info back and forth between the two servers.

You can connect to remote servers - but i'm guesssing
that this will be a much more difficult route.
Especially with customers that will be on shared
servers (unless you licensed to the hosting
companies...)
read the manual for mysql_coonect
mysql_connect (server, username, password)

I have a question to which I'm pretty sure the
answer will be no, but
I would like to hope I'm wrong...
I've developed a very simple Content Management
tool--called
Europa--that even retarded monkeys can use to
change/update text in
their web site. It's web-based, user-authenticated
(sessions), and runs
with PHP4 and MySQL.
Now, Europa is pretty much plug and play, so long as
the web site is
getting its text from a MySQL database. There's a
web agency in town
that is interested in Europa for their clients.
Their clients want to be
able to easily and quickly update certain elements
of their site without
begging some outside webmaster. They would really
benefit from Europa.
Problem: I don't want to sell Europa, or even
install it on someone's
web server for a one-time fee. I've spent a long
time on this little
tool, and want to continue to improve it. So, I
would rather license it
to companies. They pay a quarterly subscription fee,
and get to use
Europa as it continues to grow and improve. I'm
just a little worried
about one thing: If I install Europa on their
server, and they pay their
paltry quarterly subscription fee, and then decide
they don't need any
updates, I'm screwed. The value of Europa is much
greater than what I
want to sell subscriptions to it for (not much--I'm
not really greedy),
but I need some kind of control.
The idea: In order for Joe User to update text on
his web site, he comes
to my Europa web site, enters his company name,
user ID, password, and
clicks Login, and--voilà--he sees a handsome list of
tables containing
the text content of his site--which is pulled from a
MySQL database
residing on HIS web site's web host.
And this is the trick: Can PHP somehow fetch MySQL
data over the
Internet? Is this possible? If so, is it necessary
for me to resort to
new, unknown technologies like XML or SOAP, or can I
do it with PHP
alone?
Thanks for your comments.
