Accessing a database from my game server.
Hello. I've been trying to set up a global bans system on my game server, and it's supposed to access an sql database I set up on my webserver. I have the script on my game server going to localhost, is this correct, or do I need to use the domain name for my webserver?

The MySQL database for the website does not reside on the gameserver machine. You'll want to use your website DNS for this (xxx.site.nfoservers.com)

Youdaman. Thanks a ton. I'm new to sql and php, so I'm entering a new journey. Fortunately, all the autoinstallers for phpbb and admin tools and whatnot have made it 20000x easier
