I would imagine that is not a recommended course of action. Possibly to successfully achieve this you would need to know enough comp. language to not need to ask this question. However, I too would be interested as to how this is done, if anyone has any theories or has done it I would like to know. I suspect that support for this request is on the bottom of a very long list. :)

Where is this column in the pictures mysql table?
For the adress on another server?

this is not supported and not recommended - see these postings on the old board:
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/oldboard/viewtopic.php?t=1364
and
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/oldboard/viewtopic.php?t=1059

If you know what you're doing, you can check http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/oldboard/viewtopic.php?t=896 and see if this works for you, but my suggestion is: get more webspace!

hypothetical: Well if cpg was written in (my preferred lang.) ASP then this task may be achieveable

Well CPG has to be changed draastically for that, but connecting to another server is easy.

Code: [Select]


$host = "123.45.67.89";
$port = "????";

// Open connection
$fp=fsockopen($host,$port,&$errno,&$errstr,10);
if (!$fp) {
  echo "Can't connect";
  exit;
}
fputs($fp,"GET url_or_something.php HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: Webpage (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");
fclose ($fp);


You can also use fputs() for remotely connect database but then you need to know port, grant access from webpage IP etc. etc.
