Re: Is it possible to access MySQL table on server A from server B?

even if the domain name expired, most likely you will be able to access the site database using the ip address. but just that you have to give / have permissions to connect from the new domain or ip. Also, if you can login to the server with ftp, i guess you can ssh / telnet to server and take a mysql_dump (backup). You can write a ftp code in php. get all the source code in the old server and write it in the new server. -ramki ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trisha" <starfocal@yahoo.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 12:23 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Is it possible to access MySQL table on server A from server B? > Someone let me use their extra web space so I would have a > banner-free place to put my site.
