How can I connect to our MySQL server remotely. Ordinarily, we upload the same PHP application the same machine that runs MySQL too. So, I just access it using "localhost" in the mysql_connect( ) function, like:
        mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
        where $servername = "localhost"
What if I want to access the MySQL server from my Win test machine that runs Apache?

change the servername variable to the hostname of your database server and make sure that you are allowed to connect (either in mysql.db or mysql.user). btw. it's always a good idea to use a different topic than a subject just discussed.. -- Andreas D Landmark / noXtension Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then.
