If you having problems with the connection to the database, check the documentation at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.mdb2.intro-connect.php
Note by: jerome@oldstlouis.com
I'm trying to use a remote database with this. In my code, I connect with a connection string that looks like this:

$link = mysql_connect("123.123.123.123","mydatabase_user","mydatabase_password") or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('mydatabase_name') or die('Could not select database');

I can't figure out how to set this up in the config file.

$db_options['type'] = 'db';
$db_options['database'] = 'mydatabase_name';
$db_options['phptype'] = 'mysql';
$db_options['username'] = 'mydatabase_user';
$db_options['password'] = 'mydatabase_password';
$db_options['mail_table'] = 'mail_queue';

Where do I put the IP of the server with the database?
