Hi.
I would like to run XAMPP to access my MySQL database on the web host side.
For instance, I'm running WordPress via the local host but I want it to get the MySQL database online.
Thanks

Hi M202A1,
no question in your thread so you don't have a problem!?
Simply do it. Maybe it works, maybe not. Many hoster deny access from outside.
best wishes,

Thank you for your reply.
What do i then put for the
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

It appeared to work but worked very slow so I went back to local MySQL.
