Re: [PHP] Re: Is This Possible? (Database - PHP)
Yup, with local host you're not going to be able to access it from a remote machine (although it's worth asking your host). Just set up a test machine locally which is as close as possible to what your host runs (ie Unix, WinNT, whatever), with simular versions of PHP, Apache, MySQL, etc etc... run all your scripts locally, test, then upload. Use phpMyAdmin to create a dump of your database for copying between the local and live server, and you'll be happy. I'm running a cheap-ass P133 box with FreeBSD, Apache, PHP4.1, MySQL etc etc, bolted straight into my network... I was also able to install a simular set-up onto win 95 in about 2-3 hours from scratch for my laptop. Do your FTP in bulk amounts, and do your testing locally :) Justin on 13/05/02 11:25 PM, Jochem ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Why don't you install Mysql on your local machine and do your testing ?

Hey there guys, I have a slight problem which i could not solve via Java servlets and now that I am migrating to PHP I was wondering if its possible... I am hosting with a company that has given me a database (MySql) I am using the database for all my apps which are only being accessed via my servlets... I want to change that and convert all my servlets to PHP. Being new to PHP i am sure to make a lot of mistakes and instead of uploading my PHP page, getting errors/ redoing it, uploading etc I was kinda hoping i could connect to the remote database via my local machine? I already have PHP installed on my machine. on the remote host the details are Localhost jimmy*** (Username) gunsand* (Password) umace_com (Database name) Is this possible? Any help and comments appreciated. Cheers, -Ryan /* Whats the difference between the pope and your boss?

Actually you can connect to a mySQL database from a remote server. You just need to make sure that permissions are set up in the mysql table to give you access from another server.

Or read the man page on mysql_pconnect/mysql_connect ? -Original Message- From: Jochem [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 9:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Is This Possible?

I might have read the original statement wrong... you can connect to a remote mySQL database from your localhost, but not to the localhost from a remote server unless the localhost is also visible on the internet.
