cooldude832 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 database are stored on a server just like files (in fact they are files but have more to them) Depending on your hosting situation you can link to the database on any website simply by connecting to it Some hosting companies like 1&1 prohibit using MySQL DBs outside of your domains hosted on their server but if they are both in the same hosting account you can share that database probably.

roopurt18 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If you can't connect directly to the database, consider setting up a web service. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122818-how-do-i-do-this/#findComment-634295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 from abc.com you'll need to run this command on your MySQL service GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO [email protected] IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD("theActualPassword"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122818-how-do-i-do-this/#findComment-634366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm not a big fan of "ALL", but it's fine for testing. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122818-how-do-i-do-this/#findComment-634535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
