是否可以从localhost转到外部地址

Question

I can connect to my localhost and get info from a local phpMyAdmin database.

Now I want from a php file, that is stored on my local computer, but now the php file refers me to go to an external website:

<?php

//mysql_connect('localhost','root','root');
mysql_connect("http://eternal website","username","password");

mysql_select_db("dlvplant_portret_v1");

$q=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM people WHERE voornaam LIKE '%%'");
//$q=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM people WHERE voornaam ='""'");

while($e=mysql_fetch_assoc($q))

    $output[]=$e;

print(json_encode($output));

mysql_close();

?>

I tried the link and copy/paste the username and pass and I use the good website link. (the link brings me at the myPhpAdmin login from the server). So everything works and is filled in good. But when I try to connect with my android phone (from phone to local comp's php file) then the php file refers me to go to external webpage, but it says: Host is unknown

Is it even possible to go from local to external and back again?

Answer 1

You should use plain ip address(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or single "DOMAIN.SOMETHING" instead of "http://DOMAIN.SOMETHING"

mysql_connect("IPADDRESS","username","password");
