hello...i'm design a web site on my local web server but my database is at another site, i know how to use mysql which link to local web server but got no idea how to link it to external database...anyone has this kind of experience?
here is script tat i used to connect to my local database:
<?php
$db_connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")
or die("Could not connect to DB");
mysql_select_db("wsr", $db_connection)
or die("Could not find DB");
$query = mysql_query("select * from cgi", $db_connection);
Also take a look at the mySQL documentation. Particularly at the GRANT stuff. You'll note that creating a login/password isn't necessarily enough. You may need to create a login/password that works from any hostname.
it can't connect b'cos of the host permission on database center there has not been set...so after i ask for help from support at center there then i able to connect the database.
