RE: [PHP] Connecting to a remote server

They are not on the same server...that is the problem. They used to be on the same server, but I have had to move the application to a physically different server with a different DNS than the DB Server. So, on the surface, it would seem that I should just replace 'localhost' with the dns name of the DB Server i.e. (http://www.xyz.com). However, this did not work. Is there something else that I should be doing, either in the connect string or in php configuration?

If so, then there is no need for the 'http://'. And if both the webserver and the DB server are on the same machine you can continue to use 'localhost'. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Things are not as simple as they seems at first. - Edward Thorp */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
