even if the domain name expired, most likely you will be able to access the site database using the ip address. but just that you have to give / have permissions to connect from the new domain or ip. Also, if you can login to the server with ftp, i guess you can ssh / telnet to server and take a mysql_dump (backup). You can write a ftp code in php. get all the source code in the old server and write it in the new server. -ramki ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trisha" <starfocal@yahoo.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 12:23 PM Subject: Is it possible to access MySQL table on server A from server B? > Someone let me use their extra web space so I would have a > banner-free place to put my site.
