Hello all. I wasn't sure if I should post this here or at the php website, but I'm thinking this problem is a combination of both xampp and php. I currently have Apache set up with MYSQL to create a website. It's not running locally because I've tried connecting to the website from school, which it does... but this isn't the problem. What I want to be able to do is allow one of my group members to be able to either have access to my php files in my xampp folder (and be able to edit them) or allowed to connect to the website if they run their own php code from home--I would rather have the latter. I'm just wondering how to do this... I think the main problem is within the mysql_connect statements... I'm just not sure what the hostname should be. On the server computer, it's localhost, but for the group member, would it just be my ip or what?
