// 1. What is the difference between working with PHP and MySQL 
// on a local
// server and working with PHP and MySQL when MySQL is on a 
// remote server?

none - just specify different hostname in connection call (perhaps IP more
reliable)


// 2. What is the protocol used to connect to MySQL on a local 
// server and
// what is the protocol used to connect to a remote MySQL server?

TCP/IP?


// 3. Is there a difference in performance between connecting 
// from PHP to
// MySQL on a remote server or PHP to MSSQL Server?

don't know about this one - guess would be that MySQL is faster, since it's
more lightweight and PHP seems to have been developed in tandem with it
(LAMPS, PHP Triad etc)
