MySql database and php code on different servers

Question

I created a table on a MySql database on server A. Now I'm
trying to create
a page to display the contents of the table. I know that the
html code ( and
php) is on a different server (server B). I managed to create
a database
connection however when I try this connection I cannot see
the table I
created. When I click on the Connection name I get the Stored
Procedures,
Tables and View list. I click on the Tables and although I
get a connection
to the server A, no table is displayed.
Am I trying to do something silly here?
any help will be appreciated.

I do it this way all the time. My testing server is local to
my development
LAN, but the MySQL server and database is remote (on the
remote site). To
make this work, you would have to make sure that the remote
server permits
an external connection. If it does, you should be golden.
