XAMPP to access MySQL web

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,

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