php - how to connect to database on another server

Question

Could I have my php scripts on server A and connect to the MySQL database on server B?

If yes, how it would be done? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

its simple all thise above techniques are quite complicated

suppose you have database on server B and website on server A(say it has IP 192.234.12.1)

on cpanel whitelist the IP of server B

and create a new user having sufficient privileges in database (say this user is test)

then create this user as [email protected]
