sticky situation with remote mysql connection

[lastingforhours]

im creating a client login system for my clients to login and remotely update their databases from my server. one thing i didnt notice in the beginning was that some of my clients have hosting service with godaddy and they dont allow remote mysql connections.

SO... is there a loophole i can take advantage of to accomplish having all the update forms still on my server and then sending the new data to files on their server to finish the process and update their database? anything at all? thanks!

You could always implement something on your server that connects to a script on their website and posts the information to it to be updated (probably want to encrypt it somehow) and then have the local script do all the dirty work.

check out some of the examples for posting to a remote form at

, or you could always use curl
