Re: How to connect to remote database server through PHP?

Manisha, For the Sybase network connections, you are probably best off contacting Sybase specialists. php via the sybase_connect function is likely to look like any other Sybase client on a remote box, so the question is mostly about how do you get any Sybase client on your web server to communicate with the main database server. What about the administrator of the main database server? They should be able to help you on the Sybase networking side. In any case they are likely to have lots of opinions about the security implications of what you are trying to do. What you can tell your client is that you should have no problem with sending updates to the main database server from your side, but you really need their central database people to brief you on what is acceptable/sensible from their side. Sorry I couldn't help more. Manisha wrote: > > Hi, > > We are developing web application. The client wants it to get connected to > their central database server in USA.
