mysql_connect TO datasource in other web site

[Feudalism]

Is there a way to do that ? I owe two different sites in two different host / servers. I need some php routine to connect into the datasource of the another host.

The answer is on the manual page for mysql_connect(). Something like

$link = mysql_connect('example.com', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); 

This works well: my hosting provider has a separate database server. My sites are on a different machine, so I have to put the domain name of the DB server in.
