need to connect to mysql database from separate server


Recommended Posts

So here's what I've got going on. I've created a contact form that both sends the contents to someone's inbox, and saves a record of it in a database table.

 

The problem is that the site is hosted on someone else's server, but the database is hosted on OURS. So far, all the database work I've done has been on the localhost.

 

So what I need to know is: How do I setup, or what do I need to setup, in order to allow permission for the contact form from another server to save into my database on my server? What does the php connection settings look like in this case?

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
