PHP - Referencing MySQL db on my domain from localhost

m_stan · 2008-04-18 19:32:06

How do I reference my MySQL db on Blacknight from my local dev environment ? Assume my DB name is DBNAME and my domain ME.COM. Assume I've setup the access hosts. My current code is this. What do I change localhost to ? $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD"); Thanks

m_stan: change localhost to be the IP address or hostname of the server your website is hosted on.

you can also use your full domain name (_IF_ it's pointing to us and working already)
