Is it possible to use php on a local pc to access a mysql database hosted on a web site without installing anything on the local pc?

yes, you need to have an account created however on your mysql machine that will allow access from the ip of your home machine.

you will need to have php installed on your home machine 8O

I know that was obvious, but you asked if you needed *anything*

Can anyone give me the PHP code that reaches out to my web server?

Code: Select all

mysql_connect("%webserverip%","username","password")
  or die(mysql_error());
as I said above though, you will need to have an account that will allow your "local" ip.

edit: 8O

Thanks, Burrito Master
