How to create a shared database for users for different systems to connect to a single database in another system

Question

Hi, I'm using xampp to create my semester project, I need my friends to access the same database that I have on my laptop, is there a way to do that. Or I to need to have the same database in all the systems. We have the same PHP code for us to display our project. Urgent help required. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can do both. If all the laptops are in the same network, then you can access the database using the IP address of the laptop that has the database. You can also enable remote access on xampp.

Suppose the laptops are not in the same network, then you can log in to xampp and export the database and copy that file to other laptops. Now your friends will be able to use the same database.

Answer 2

Like Omkar said, while presenting your project to your Professor, you can probably have just 1 database in your laptop and all your friends can connect to it since you'll be connected to the same network. But, if you guys are planning to access it remotely from your house, then you'll not be able to access it.
