Hi,
I am working on a program using php and mysql and I am trying to have a centralized database, but the database is on one server.
while it would be easy to access the database using localhost, which we are currenlty doing.
My problem lies in the fact that this program is going to be given to several other retailers to create one large central database, and my hosting company does not host those retailers.
Is it possible to allow access to the database, from outside of localhost, and what security precautions should be taken.
Thanks,
Mike
