// 1. What is the difference between working with PHP and MySQL // on a local // server and working with PHP and MySQL when MySQL is on a // remote server?
none - just specify different hostname in connection call (perhaps IP more reliable) // 2. What is the protocol used to connect to MySQL on a local // server and // what is the protocol used to connect to a remote MySQL server? TCP/IP? // 3. Is there a difference in performance between connecting // from PHP to // MySQL on a remote server or PHP to MSSQL Server? don't know about this one - guess would be that MySQL is faster, since it's more lightweight and PHP seems to have been developed in tandem with it (LAMPS, PHP Triad etc) HTH -b // // thanks // // berber // // -- // PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) // To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // To contact the list administrators, e-mail: // [EMAIL PROTECTED] // -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
