Hi,
I have hosted my website. I had only html files. But now I want to create a form in php. But I cannot access database as per the plan that I bought.
Instead I have a friend who says I can use access her database and she has given all the permissions.
This php file is in server A and the database test_db is in server B.
<?php
$user_name = "aaaa";
$password = "bbbbb";
$database = "test_db";
$server = "xxxxxxxxx";
$db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password);
$db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);
?>
When I try to run this php file, I get this error
Internal Server Error

Re: access remote database
That is a HTTP error message. Are you adding http:// to the server name? It should just me the domain name or IP address.

Re: access remote database
This is the URL,
domainname.in/test.php
domainname.in/test.php

Re: access remote database
It should just be domainname.in or the IP address. You connect to the MySQL server on port 3306, not via the web server.
