Connecting to MySQL Database

[raybanz21]

hello!

Just wondering if it is same way ba in mysql to establish a connection to DB when the php script is running from a intranet server or localserver but the mySQL database is located in the webserver?

I mean ang script is running from local server/ intraner server connecting to MySQL DB sa akong web server.

If incase pwede or same way ra depending lang sa servername, username, password and dbname then I need an Internet connection para maka connect right? how if I have a proxy whenever we connect to internet. I mean that we are using a proxy server connecting to internet. Is it same lang ang pag connect sa mysql to web server or maka connect ba maski naay proxy?

thanks a lot...

Inig mysql_connect() nimo bai, instead of localhost kay e enter lang ang kato sa imo usa ka server.

I think if nag proxy mo sa internet port 80 or 8080 ra na bro, lain man port connect-an sa mySQL. Not sure ha.

depende sad if sa privileges nimo sa db.
Some mysql dbs that are on hosting services tend to have the default db accounts set to localhost/a certain ip range for security purposes, so kinaglan mu explicitly grant ka privileges. But as I've said this depends on your service provider.

If your granting privileges sad, I'd suggest you grant to a specific ip. Hopefully naa kay static ip, but if your using a proxy, you might need to set that to your specific proxy. But really, connecting to a mysql server via proxy is very dangerous if you don't know who's proxy it is. And also a GRANT ALL ON *.* TO user@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD'; is a very bad/dangerous practice as well
