Re: Connecting to db on a different machine

$db = "mydatabasename"; $user = "myusername"; $pw = "mypassword"; $mysql_access = mysql_connect("domain_name_or_ip_address", $user, $pw); mysql_select_db($db, $mysql_access); easy cheesey. just make sure you're using the correct name and password. if you need to setup a new user name and password consult the mysql docs on granting permission. www.mysql.com jason Scott Fletcher <scott@abcoa.com> wrote in message news:92d5qa$lcg$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > Hiya Everyone! > > I'm a bit stump on how can I do this.
