Bridging The Gap Between Servers

Chris Ramsey · 06-07-2009, 06:14 PM

Hey Warriors,

I'm trying to pull information from a mySQL database and displayed on another server. However, since mySQL can't connect to other servers, I've tried simple XML to display information on the other server.

The trouble is I can't get simple XML to work on the other server. When doing a phpinfo simple XML is installed and works properly. But for some reason my custom RSS reader does not work.

Can anyone think of another way to display information from my mySQL database to the other website?

Thanks in advance!

Many hosts allow remote access to databases. If you can do that, then you can connect to the database directly and query exactly what you need. As for RSS feed readers, you might want to try SimplePie, and you also my want to try using an RSS validator to see if you are missing something with your feed.

I have a simple online program to test rss links. It will help you to test them before you go to a lot of trouble inserting them into your programs.
