mysql_real_connect and c++
here's my code:
Code:
case IDC_GET:
MYSQL *pConnection;
MYSQL_RES *pResult; //pointer to the result set structure
MYSQL_ROW Row;
pConnection = mysql_init(NULL);
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Attempting to Connect to"));
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Database......."));
mysql_real_connect(pConnection, "localhost", "alakazam","username","password",0,NULL,0);
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Connected!"));
mysql_query(pConnection,"SELECT * FROM products"); //query the database
pResult = mysql_store_result(pConnection);
TCHAR szBuffer[50];
wsprintf (szBuffer, TEXT ("%d"), mysql_num_rows (pResult));
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Total # of Products In Database:"));
SendDlgItemMessage (hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)szBuffer);
//printf("\n\nThe Number Of products in the database: %d\n\n",mysql_num_rows(pResult));
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("______________________"));
mysql_free_result(pResult);
break;
I got everything working, except.....I want to run this program on other computers and use the mysql database running on this computer. How do I replace the "localhost" in the mysql_real_connect with the ip address of the computer i need to connect to?
I have tried with "192.168.0.2" and "http://192.168.0.2" and nothing seems to work.
can anybody help me. I basically need to connect to "x" mysql database from computer "y".
