Hi,

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but will someone clarify something for me. I want to write an application in GTK that connects to MySQL/PHP/Apache... No PROBLEM... it all works fine running on my localhost. If I were to put that application onto another server and try and run it from a desktop, for what reason can I NOT do this? Surely I can point to an IP address (as this application has a dedicated server) and this should work? At the moment, I point to localhost or 127.0.0.1 and it works fine. The minute I point to the IP address where the SAME database sits with the same configuration as localhost, it cannot establish a connection??????
Please can someone shed some light on the situation???

Thanks!!!

Do you mean you want to run a PHP-GTK application from a remote system? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.
