  1. There\'s no way I can link to the Lycos MySQL databse from another host so I was wondering if there is a site or something that offers a FREE MySQL database that will allow me to use for a forum on a site hosted elsewhere...

     

    I can\'t find any and my host doesn\'t support them..

     

    Any help will be greatly appreciated...

    Firstly, yes I know nothing about PHP, MySQL...

     

    I\'ve got a forum uploaded to my domain webspace but my host doesn\'t support databases, meaning it will be rather difficult to get a forum that requires MySQL to work!

     

    I have however found out that my Lycos/Tripod webspace allows me a MySQL table and after testing it all out, It all works on my Lycos webspace...

     

    Here\'s the question, how would I remotely link to the database on Lycos from my other webspace? The host for Lycos would normally be \'localhost\' but this obviously won\'t work if the forum is hosted somewhere else...

     

    What would I have to specify the host as?

     

    If you can help, thanks, if you can\'t help, you probably still know more than me!

     

    Thanks,
