It is possible to connect a remote db server using xxxxx_connect? e.g. a PostgreSQL in server PSQLDB, ip=192.168.0.100 and a MSSQL server MSSQLDB, ip=192.168.0.110 I tried pgsql_connect("psqldb","administrator","") & pgsql_connect("192.168.0.100","administrator","") but failed! Error is "Unable to connect to server: psqldb in psqltest.php on line 2" & "Unable to connect to server: 192.168.0.100 in psqltest.php on line 2" Can anyone help? regards ./pl
