retreiving data from remote server

[vinny199]

Hi,

I am trying to do the following:

I would like 3 websites to "pull" data of the same MySql database on a 4th website / remote server.

How can I get my 3 websites to connect to that database on the 4th server in order to retrieve and display data from it?

The 4 sites are not hosted on the same server, hence a full path to the MySql datatbase in the connection string is not an option.

I can't see a way around it.

Can you help?

Thanks a lot,

vinny

Connect to the ip address of the 4th server.

sorry but i do not really get your problem - when connectin to a db u can specify the hostname / ip of the server.... so when the mysql server allows remote connections (not only from localhost) u should be able to access it...
