Sometimes it is necessary to perform queries to databases that are in remote servers. However, firewall rules prevent accessing those databases from outside the network where the respective server machines are located.
This package provides a solution that circumvents that restriction. It uses a PHP script as a proxy in the same machine as the remote MySQL database server to perform remote queries via the Web.
This way the remote database can be queried by client scripts from remote machines. To use this solution, the client scripts can be in PHP or any other language.
