But there a few things you must do. 1. Your username for the MySQL has to be allowable for any domain and not just localhost. 2. When doing the connection do mysql_connect("<server ip or dns>","username","password); I think I normally get it to work using the IP. The most important thing is that your username is set to allow connections from any host. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager ------------------------- New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/
