Balmung-San Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 You place in the server name. If the server was db.mysite.com you'd use: $con = mysql_connect("db.mysite.com","marquis","******"); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37803-connect/#findComment-180857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 You can put the servers hostname (url) or you use the ip address to the remote MySQL server. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37803-connect/#findComment-180884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
