Is this possible
 

For my site, we run a submittion system, with the vBulletin as the place for submittions to be placed, but one thing i have been thinking about doing, was upgrading it so things coudl be updated automatically, the forums and the site are on seperate servers from each other, so i don't know if i can transfer mysql data from the two, what i was wondering, is it possible to call data from a mysql database from another server and have the information called to be placed on a php file for another site on another server

You can transfer data between the two, you just need to allow use a wildcard (%) in the server name for the mySQL username you wish to allow access from outside of your one server (some hosts dont allow this - so check it).

//edit

Thats not very clear, let me try again...

When you create a user for a mySQL database (using cpanel 4 sql manager this is) you can set where that user can access the database from, example localhost, then that user can only access the database if they are on the localhost, changing it to % would mean they could access it from anywhere.

Hope thats clearer.

hmmm, but all i really need to do is transfer things from posts, like thread contents, author of thread etc, what would i need to do on both parts to call this information
