Just replace '127.0.0.1' (a.k.a. 'localhost') with the database
server's ip address or name. Some things you have to be sure of to do
this:
(1) The database server machine's mysql wasn't started with
--skip-networking (I'm pretty sure that's the parameter); if it was,
MySQL won't be listening to the internet at all, and will need to be
restarted without that parameter.
(2) Make sure the server's permission tables will allow access from
your web server - see the GRANT command;
(3) Make sure the database server isn't behind a firewall or
something that restricts internet access to the MySQL port (normally
3306)
If all these conditions are met, your the database server can be
anywhere. Keep in mind, though, that if your query returns a large
number of results, response will be limited by the speed of the
network(s) between the two machines.
