I have a few MySQL databases that came with my hosting package.
My friend has very simple webhosting and did not get any databases.
How do I allow him access to one of my databases? (I will create one for
his specific use).
Many times it asks for the direct path to the database but AFAIK this is
from my hosting. I guess I need to know how to point from his site to my
site with the database.

E.g. My site would have settings something like this:
My URL: www.mysite.com
Absolute path: "/home/mysite/public_html"
Database Name: mydbname
MySQL Hostname: localhost
MySQL Username: myusrname
Password: test

My friend's site would be:
www.myfriendssite.com
I realise that he can't use my absolute path in his php file settings.
Is it actually possible to have the database on my hosting space and
allow him to access it?
Thanks very much for any help.
