Connecting Local PC To Live MySQL

[BarraGT]

I have a website that I am developing on my PC, and I would like to get it to connect from there to the MySQL database I have running on my Linux server.

Is that possible, and how can I do it?

Yes you can do it. The MySQL site has a decent manual online.

Wow...that's all a bit beyond me, but I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!

Have you tried it via ODBC? There is a MySQL ODBC driver you can use as long as it is set up on the remote as a data source.

I haven't tried that, no. I might have to do without, as all of this is a little too complicated for me. Thanks for your help, though, everyone!
