Hi, I am sure this is a silly/easy question but I really hope someone can point me some documents. We are currently running PHP and MySQL at the same machine. Can I run PHP in one machine and MySQL server in another machine? If so, how can I make the database connection? Currently, in all my PHP scripts, they connect to the database through @ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "UNAME", "PASSWD"); can I just replace localhost with the host name of MySQL machine? What else should I worry about? Thanks! Qunfeng __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
