dbHost Question

[4zen]

hello

I have a situation where a client site doesnt have a mysql db on their server ( shared server) doesnt want to kick in for cost for adding one...
I do have one availble from my host. With this, is it possible to connect to a database across domains??And what would i put as the dbHost than if it does work?, client domain name or host ip???

so...

//set the database connection variables

$dbHost = "localhost"; //can i connect using my host db??
$dbUser = "yourUsername";
$dbPass = "YourPassword";
$dbDatabase = "yourDB";

thanks!

This was just asked in the Newbies section yesterday.

And the answer was:

"I connect to my remotely hosted mysql server by the url of the server, but the IP address also works. The default mysql server port is 3306 and that must be open through any firewalls.

Use a tool like MySQLAdministrator to verify the connection from the computer that will be running your PHP code, it's easier to work out connection problems that way."

I'm not sure if that solves your problem.

Good Luck
