Problem with connecting Remote MySQL using PHP

Hi,
I've been facing problem while trying to access remote MySQL database using PHP. It is working fine with the local database.

I did in the following way:

Created a user on the database with username@ipaddress identified by 'password';

Warning:

Warning: Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /var/www/html/helpdesk/common/mysql.class.php on line 41
2013 : Lost connection to MySQL server during query

System details:

OS: RedHat 8.0
PHP version: 4.2.2
MySQL Version: 3.23.52

Please help me out.

Thanks & Regards
Praveen

RE: Problem with connecting Remote MySQL using PHP

Every time I need to connect to a Remote Server I use the IP of that server, i.e:

php Code:

Original - php Code
// The IP is a non-existing IP address!!! mysql_connect("212.203.214.168", "username", "password"); mysql_select_db("database");

 
 
// The IP is a non-existing IP address!!!
mysql_connect("212.203.214.168", "username", "password");
mysql_select_db("database");

This should do fine.
