UbH Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Is it possible to connect to a MySQL database from another site?? See I have a work related site thats going to be hosted on our web server here at work, but they have no plans to setup a MySQL database on it for me. However I have my own site and hosting that has an abundant amount of database space so I was wondering if I can run PHP scripts from this work web server, that would connect to my hosting MySQL databases?? Sorry if this seems like a n00b questions. Also what would they connect code look like if I am able to do such a thing??

bschultz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 instead of using "localhost" in the connect part of the script, use the IP address of the server with the DB on it.

revraz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 My Webhost doesn't allow any connections from outside the domain, so hopefully yours does.
