trq Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 You say you want people to be able to connect there desktop applications to your database. This has nothing at all to do with php. You need to give permissions (in mysql) for remote hosts to connect. There are examples in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aximbigfan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Actually, he might want to create some sort of REST service for the apps to connect to, rather than connecting directly to MySQL. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 He might, but then he also might want to tell us so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellReal Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 From what I gather you want a database manager type vb client, now, I'm sure VB can connect to a mysql database, I could of swore I've seen an example somewhere.. If you don't know mysql OR vb, then you've probably got a long while before you could complete this goal.. I humbly suggest you search on google "Connecting to mySQL through VB" or something similar to that.. You also need to make sure your database allows remote connections.. like someone stated above you should find out how at http://www.mysql.com google is your friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclamp Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 When you go to develop the .net part, http://www.vbforums.com/ is a great resource. i am a member there... although i only post in chit chat and PHP forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secret007 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 thanks for suggestions, but i m using php how can vb integrate into it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Your question still doesn't sound like your using php at all. If your users are creating desktop applications this has nothing to do with php. All you need do is grant remote access to your mysql server. eg; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname TO 'foo'@'remotehost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Bro i m asking that anyone can connect his/her desktop app to my online database build in php Databases aren't built in php. You can (and likely have) build php applications that provide a frontend to a database but that isn't what your original post described. What desktop apps are your customers connecting via? We really need more details about exactly what it is your trying to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Actually, reading your original post it probably is more like what youve described, I guess I just misread the question. Sorry. Still however, we need to know what kind of applications your users are planning on connecting from. Are these costomised applications? Your users would pretty much need to build a web browser into there applications to do what your describe. Either that or you just expose an xml document and let them parse it into tables within there application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 just make a web browser.. and inside the web browser, navigate to some php and build the front end in php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is simple to understand. Mysql already has this functionality. If you don't know how to set this up I would strongly suggest you tell your supervisor that you don't have the ability to do fulfill your job description.

RussellReal Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 you want a desktop application to connect to your php mysql panel type thingy.. if it is ALREADY configured in your php.. and it completely works with your php then all you need to do is show what the php shows.. so make your vb app or whatever, connect directly to your php (with a web browser ofcourse) and then you have a desktop app.. in like 2 minutesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 but also please tell me about that functionality... I did, several replies ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
