A quick google for php mysql connect found http://us2.php.net/function.mysql-connect, which explains it pretty well. The only thing that they don't go into is that you'd need to open the mysql port in the firewall on the box running mysql. The port is 3306 by default. *NOTE:* If you are going to do this, I would *highly* recommend that the firewall rule that you write specifically open the port *only* to the machine running the PHP app! For instance (and somebody please verify this, as I'm just learning to craft my own iptables rules): php machine: 192.168.1.100 mysql machine: 192.168.1.101 iptables rule on the mysql machine: -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.100/32 --dport 3306 --syn -j ACCEPT -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.1.100/32 --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT I haven't tried this out, so I can't vouch for it, but that's how I *think* it should look.
