I am trying to connect to my MySQL database on my online server via PHP on my localhost.\[code\]$con = mysql_connect("$hostname", "$username", "$password");if (!$con) {die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());}mysql_select_db($databasename, $con);\[/code\]When I upload the script to the server it connects to the database fine. However, when I load the script on my localhost it will not connect to the online database. I shut off my firewall to make sure it was not blocking it.Is the connection above formatted correctly to do this? Any other suggestions?
