RE: [PHP-DB] remote database exchange

The mysql_connect() function accepts a host name, which can be the internet address of another machine! However-- the MySQL database on that machine has to be set up to allow outside connections for whatever particular username/password you are using! Please see these pages to answer your questions: http://www.mysql.com/doc/A/d/Adding_users.html -- MySQL username/password configuration http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php --- MySQL functions in PHP The PHP page has an example on that page that will show you -exactly- how to do it. --Matt -----Original Message----- From: Ken Sommers [mailto:mrsql.php@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 5:53 PM To: PHP DB Mailing List Subject: [PHP-DB] remote database exchange Is it possible to exchange data on remote databases in PHP mysql?
