MySQL Connection On Seperate Server

Hello Friends,

Usually when connecting to a database from a file, the database and the file are on the same server, so localhost is good enough to make the connection.

However, I am having to connect to a database on a different server from which the file is at.

Is what I need to use generic to every host, like localhost is, and if so, what is it, or is it specific to the host?


Thank You

hi nikhil,

use below to remote connection to mySql,

SERVER or HOST = A (or IP address of system A)
DATABASE = databasename
USER = myuser
PASSWORD = mypassword

and you add host name on server using Cpanel -> Mysql add Ip address as hostname here
