I have an working Excel file, with file I can send data extracted from an drawing program to an remote MySQL server. Since last week my host has canceled the option to send data from an remote host to the MySQL database, now it’s only possible to do it from localhost.
Is there any way to get around this problem?
I doubt it. Barring SSH access and the right to run programs there (which I doubt you have on shared hosting) the only way around this would be by building a PHP “relay”, but that can’t work with a client trying to establish a low-level mySQL connection.
Unless they agree to making an exception for you, you may have to change hosting providers.
Leave the question open for a while in case someone has an idea, but I don’t think there is a workaround.
