Displaying results from another MySql database in an CMSMS web page

[burlington]

I am running a CMSMS website.

I want to be able to display the results from another MySql database, which carries stats, in a normal CMSMS webpage.

How would I go about this please? Using an inline frame, or is there a better method?

Thank you.

I guess it all depends where your database is and if it accepts remote connections (assuming that the database is on another sever).

Are the stats already provided for you in a formatted form? If so an inline frame would likely be the easiest. Another way would be to use the existing code to create a UDT and insert the UDT in your CMSMS page.

Thanks Tyman00

The database is on the same domain though whether it is actually on the same server as the CMSMS one is questionable.

I already get the stats in a formatted form from the database but have to clone the page header etc to match the main website. Therefore I suppose an inline frame would be best

Sorry, but what is a UDT?

In this situation it would probably be easiest to use an iFrame.
