Does anyone have any tutorials or information on how to write a php/http tunnel to connect to mysql from a desktop app?

Not sure if this answers your question, but you can compile php into an executable to run as a desktop app. The php can contain the typical mysql db connection code.

Yeah that is what I am using however that script will be unable to connect to a web server unless there is a HTTP Tunnel to that server. I just dont know how to write the tunnel

If it's a desktop app, what does this have to do with php?

Or are you running a webserver on the desktop? In which case, why don't you just point the mysql host to where-ever your database is hosted?
