Hi,

I can't connect to database with mysql_connect because my hosting provider denied this. On this server I can connect only to localhost but my database is on other machine.

So how can I connect without mysql_connect?
 
Realistically you don't have many options. You might be able to connect with PHP odbc functions depending on server setups, but that's about it.
 
The way I understand it, they only allow it to connect to localhost. I assume that's where their own mysql database runs :)
