Hello all, I am new to this list ... and hope to find an answer to a question which has come up.
On the server for my websites at my ISP, a mySQL server is installed to handle different customers' databases (1 database setup for each customer).... Now, as I have a need for a mySQL server where I can create/delete databases, my ISP agreed to install a 2nd mySQL server that can be dedicated to my sole use ... but I am told it would run on a different port number ... My question now is this: How can I tell a php script to not use the standard mySQL server that exists on this server computer, but to use the 2nd mySQL server that runs on the different port number ? Currently I use info set up in variables like this: # MySQL database config stuff $host="localhost"; $username="abcdefg"; $database="database"; $password="123456789"; Is it possible to add the port information somwhere? or does a php connection always use the standard mySQL port settings? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
