Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to connect to a mysql database that is not on the localhost

usually i just simply connect to the local host by typing:

shell> mysql -h localhosot -u user -p
Enter password: ******

or php

mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die("Unable to connect to database");

@mysql_select_db("$DBName") or die("Unable to select database $DBName");

however, i am creating a site on domain1.com but want it to connect to mysql database I have on domain2.com.

Anyone know what the correct host name would be or anything?

Thanks,
ditto

In all of mine I have not connected to a domain name, rather an IP address.
