External mysql?

[haveacigar]

Does anyone know if there is (or if it is possible) to access a myql database from a different place on the web? Im asking because my current host doesnt allow mysql to be uploaded, so i was thinking it might be possible to do this if i did it through an ip address...

If you take a look at the manual page for the mysql_connect() function, you'll notice the first argument is 'server', this can be a domain, or an IP.

cool... so it is possible... now all i have to do is find a free website that allows mysql uploads :)
