Question
Using a program called Myeclipse which is very similar to eclipse but easier to use, I am trying to link my university database (phpmyadmin) to my HTML5 application through PHP, how would I go about this, I know how to connect to the database when on site in the university but don't know how to go about it elsewhere. I need the database to use the login and also save files to.
