I'm not sure which O/S Pete is referring to here, but there's no technical reason why you can't use multiple databases spread over as many servers you want. In fact, I use MySQL databases (plus others) on at least 3 platforms, all accessed by the same script, to pull data in from multiple sources. If you want database horizontal saleability, you'll _have_ to start using multiple servers. Having said all this, you still need to consider security, latency, and design. Why is the data on another server. Is the path to the server secure. Should the data be there. Could is be copied overnight, etc, etc. Rob. -----Original Message----- From: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pete Sent: 05 March 2008 23:02 To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Update remote mysql database from localhost by PHP- Is it posibble? is it safe? >> I want to update my database on remote server in the way >> i can read data from database on localhost and transfare it to >> remote database.I have done that in this way but i didnt get any >> result.could any one tell me haw i can do it? Unless you have done something "special", you can usually only read and write to a database on the same server as the PHP page which is doing the reading and writing, for security reasons. The normal way to transfer the data is to create a .sql file, and use that. -- Pete Clark *********************************************************************************** Any opinions expressed in email are those of the individual and not necessarily those of the company.
