I am trying to use the ZMySQL Database Adapter to connect to a mysql database on a remote host. This is the syntax that i've used: database_name@host_name:port user (no password needed) The database that i am connecting to does not need a password. I have also try it with the "+" and "-" sign in front of the database name but none worked. The remote host is on a LAN. Can anyone give me some idea of why the above connection string does not work? thanks, -- Mike Tran Shufflemaster Gaming Inc.
