[Phpmyadmin-devel] function similar to PMA_DBI_connect for remote server connection?

[Tomas Srnka]

Thank you for your reply, I will add 4th parameter.

Sorry for the mis-understanding, I'm still thinking in terms of  exactly 
two servers (MySQL master and MySQL slave). By saying "from slave server 
to master server", I mean connecting from phpmyadmin (which is connected 
to *slave* MySQL server at the moment) to master MySQL server.
