Your remote code could call the local intermediary service.
If my solution is not viable, is there any other way of hosting my files someplace else, but still access the local database?
Yes. Your remotely hosted code would call the database on your local
server. Something like:
<? $link = mysql_connect("foo.com", "bar", "PASSWORD"); ?>
You would also need to allow the connection from the remote host in mysql.
mysql> GRANT ALL ON foo.* TO bar@'202.54.10.20' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
I personally don't understand why you'd need to store code remotely but execute it locally, unless you're concerned about the office "stealing" your code, or using it without permission...If you aren't concerned about code theft, there are lots of ways you could store code remotely, e.g. a very raw/simple/uncomplicated/ugly:
$src = file_get_contents('http://server/code.php.txt');
file_put_contents('/tmp/code.php',$src);
include('/tmp/code.php');
unlink('/tmp/code.php');
But there are at least a few reasons why I wouldn't recommend doing that...
