XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

This is the easiest way I can think of explaining my question.
If my friend's host does not have MySQL but he needs to run a script that needs MySQL to work. Could he link his script to my "MySQL table"?
Thanks in advance.

why not? I do it all the time! it depends on how much access you have to your mysql permissions

You can if your host allows remote connections to their databases, many do not but many do.

Most webhosts (professional) never have their php scripts and mysql db all in one location. They prefer to have mysql in another server.

just use your hosts url instead of "localhost" in mysql_connect..
