Connect from one to another

I was wondering how to connect a database to an external website.

I'm not new at all to MySQL, it's just I don't know how to do this yet.
Does anyone have any idea how?

Thanks!

 

try using IP address or website.. I have also not done it yet, but If i were to, i would use IP address as first thing.

 

What do you mean?
A basic way is:

mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass");
mysql_select_db("DB");

PHP:

Thanks.

 

localhost is used when you are trying to connect to same website / same server.

from website A to website B you should use IP of website B.

 

Ok so like: mysql_connect("71.XXXXXXXX"); correct?

 

that is what i would try, no harm in trying

meanwhile someone who has already done this can comment about exact way of achieving the same..

 

yes u can do it...n u have to add username and pasword tooo....
