  1. You will have to create a new user in MySQL that is allowed to connect from a remote host.

    By default, root can only connect from localhost.

    You could try running the following commands from the MySQL server (make sure to substitute 192.168.0.99 with the IP of the PC that will be connecting):

    CREATE USER 'php'@'192.168.0.99' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbbook.* TO 'php'@'192.168.0.99';


    It is possible to specify a wildcard host ('php'@'%'), but then if anyone got your MySQL password they could connect to the DB. You could also wildcard your subnet ('php'@'192.168.0.%') which is a little safer.
