connecting to offsite databases
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2005 4:53 pm
i searched the forums and didnt find a thread about this even though im sure there would be one
someone asked me if i could do this for them:
he runs two sites that are membership required and hes getting a third site and he wants when people register on one to be registered on all three...
first off i know that if more than one mysql server runs off localhost then i dont think it would be possible, but if only one did then users could register from the site containing that one.
so if none or one of them runs on localhost could i connect to the database of site A from site B?
I dont see why not but since i dont have his ftp+sql details yet i cant test and i dont have multiple sites of my own to test
