I'm writing the php code on my computer and I upload the code to the www folder using Secure WebDisk.
This take a lot of my time and sometime, after connecting with the Secure WebDisk I can't get on my website (500 Internal Server Error).
To speed up the process I installed a local server (Wampserver) and I want to run the code local, checking for error's and such.
If I have a piece of code I can upload it in one time to the www folder.
The same file/folder tree as on the website is easy with the Secure Webdisk but synchronizing the database is the problem.
To work around this problem, I want to use the database from heliohost instead of my local database.
Question: How can I access the database from my computer?
I tried: $DB_con = mysql_connect('stevie.heliohost.org','skitkat_skitkat','*********');
without result
Also i'm using a firewall (Linksys WRT54GL)
regards,
sir KitKat
PS: some extra functionality could be performing task on the database without exposing the 'script' on the www
