For that I will be using Php as I am php developer so I need host name, to get connected with db, can you tell me the name of file where i can get this info, even at server (EY) I am unable to get the mysql host name.

Ack! No! If the app is in Rails, extend it in Rails to create the API. Don’t write a separate PHP app – that’s asking for trouble. If the app isn’t in Rails, then why the heck are you posting here? > Thanks Best, –Â Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---
