If you can run your own scripts in the site you want to have access the
database, maybe you want to try using SOAP to implement remote services
that retrieve the data you need from the database or otherwise execute
some other action, all over HTTP.

In that case, you may want to try this SOAP server PHP base class that
you can use to develop new SOAP services without having to learn too
much about the protocol.

I would write a script on B that accepts parameters and returns the
results in easy-to-parse form (ideally, the final result you want, with
unique delimiters like your results).

Then the script on A calls the script on
B, parses the page, and gets the results.
No pop-ups.

Forgot to mention ... the only way to access the database on B is to connect
to "localhost" there.
