db on a different server
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2005 11:29 am
Hey guys,
I got a forum coded for me with php. Anyways, the server where my website is located is blocked at my work because it was identified as a "game" site (I think it has to do with the DNS or what not)...
So the thing is, I'd like to make a "mirror site" that would be on an acceptable server but I would like to use the database on the blocked one. How can I query a DB that is on a different server?
The site is already running so is it just a different in connections, or sql queries or what?
Thanks for any help
