hey i have a project and i am trying to run some php script on my website and connect it to my home postgis db.

I wanted to do this all locally first, but i could not get php running on my system locally.


So pleasee...

how do i connect to my HOME behind Verizon fios line Database.

<?php
$myServer = "localhost";
$myUser = "postgres";
$myPass = "your_password";
$myDB = "postgis";



if this is the standard connection for a database on a website, how would i edit it to connect to my home Desktop?

the site im trying to connect from with the script is http://findariver.com/emergencyapp/index2.php


User postgress
pass blabla
port 5432
dbname postgis

My host is 127.0.0.1:5432

Computer ip is 192.168.1.2
IPv4 DNS server 71.243.0.12 <--- not sure if this is needed.

So how would i point the database to enter my network, and then the computer?

I have searched online but seem to find little on this, it should be quite simple. But i just need to finish this project by tomorrow and am really stuck.



if anyone knows please let me know asap

i just went to displaymyhostname.com and it shows

pool-108-7-60-187.bstbna.fios.verizon.net

would i need to use this?

You need to forward the necessary ports on your router.
