RE: [PHP-DB] MySql

Also, make sure the MySQL database CAN be accessed from another machine. A lot of machines have this locked down to localhost or a specific IP address. if that is the case, no amount of PHP code will access the database. Can you use MySQL client on another machine to point to your database?
