The mysql_connect() function accepts a host name, which can be the
internet address of another machine! However-- the MySQL database on
that machine has to be set up to allow outside connections for whatever
particular username/password you are using!
Please see these pages to answer your questions:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/A/d/Adding_users.html -- MySQL
username/password configuration
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php --- MySQL functions in
PHP
The PHP page has an example on that page that will show you -exactly-
how to do it.

Subject: [PHP-DB] remote database exchange
Is it possible to exchange data on remote databases in PHP mysql?
Suppose I had a MUSIC database that you wanted your site visitors to be
able to query,and it was OK with me because you had a MOVIE database
that I wanted MY site visitors to be able to query,
Could we swing this?
what is the name of this process?
remote process serving?
remote database access?
relay exchange process server?
IF it exists,,where are all the tutorials and docs on it?
