Hello,

Is it possible to run PHP forms on an IIS server without too much trauma?

Also, as I mentioned in another post, we have a computer on the top floor that our network recognizes as beta.mycompany.com - would it be possible to have the php application running on our web server (the aforementioned IIS/PHP server) use a MySQL database on beta.mycompany.com?

I think it will work, because the web server is aware of beta.mycompany.com - but I do not know.

Thank you very very much for your time.

I don't think this really needed a new thread, but whatever..

The PHP script can tell its MySQL extension to fetch from a remote database by using a different host than "localhost." The remote database will need to allow a remote connection for the user that will be used. Read up on user administration at MySQL's site for more details on how that's done.

Sorry. I had severe brain trauma four years ago and sometimes do strange things.

I apologize. These answers are obvious.

Goodbye.
