On different port

[Grant_Cooper]

I can't find any examples where php codes opens a database on a different port? I am trying to build a web page from a remote server. I'm sure this is possible - can someone show me an example so I know what to look for.

Another case of not looking in the manual.

resource mysql_pconnect ( [string server [, string username [, string password]]])

Returns a positive MySQL persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.

mysql_pconnect() establishes a connection to a MySQL server. The following defaults are assumed for missing optional parameters: server = 'localhost:3306', username = name of the user that owns the server process and password = empty password.

the server parameter would be "mydomain.com:port#"

Hope this helps
