Database access from different locations

chinni_77

hello everybody,

My database is housed in a directory say "CHAMPION".Now, i copied this directory contents to a different location say "FORMULA1".

The formula1 directory does'nt have the database.

Is it possible to display the contents of this database from the formula1 directory????

(All the directories are in the server).

Or in other words, please clarify the following if I does'nt make any sense above.

In my server, there are 3 directories: "CHAMPION", "FORMULA1", "DRIVERS".

The above 3 directories are for three different webpages.I want to share one database to all these three.Where should i place my database???Right now, my database is placed in the "CHAMPION" directory and the champions webpage is working fine.I want "FORMULA1" and "DRIVERS" webpages also to access the same database.

How can i proceed with this one???

Thanks in advance.

I'd say you should switch to a database like MySQL, which is a server, rather than a file, database.

But, try moving it into the parent directory of all of these, then use "..\database.ext" to open the database. The .. just means "previous directory" (parent).

Hope this helps.

Hello Mordecai,

well nodoubt, I'm using mysql as the database.

In simple words,

I've three domains:

www.myname.com/formula1/index.php
www.myname.com/champions/index.php
www.myname.com/drivers/index.php

In one of my main server, I have three directories namely-formula1, champions, and drivers.The 3 directories are 3 different homepages and I want these 3 homepages to share one database-is it possible???Right now, i placed the database in the formula1 directory and the first link is working fine.
How best can I do in-order to share the database for the three different domains???

Thanks everybody.

Hi,

If I got your question right, it doesn't matter where your database is placed. You mentioned that it already works for one "domain". Well, you just have to call that same database with each domain inside your php code. So, it doesn't matter if the database is housed in your "formula 1" or "champions".
You mentioned that your champions page already works. Use the same connection for your other pages.
I hope this helps, if not, I tried....
