A lot of how you access your services on the remote server depends greatly on how the remote server is configured. You are correct, you won't want to use localhost URLs as part of your production app.

In most cases, you would just replace 'localhost' with your domain name, www.billspencere.com . But, you'll need to configure the remote host similar to how your local was configured. It sounds like this will require PHP to be set up on the remote machine, in addition to your database.

I don't think you've given us enough information to provide you with more specifics. Does this help?

doing this.  When I was developing an app in the past, I would connect to a
localhost on my personal machine.  But I assume in production, you have to
set up Zend and your PHP functions alongside your database on your
webserver.  So I am at a loss of how to connect to my online database using
AIR.  I tried setting up a PHP data service, but cannot validate the Web
Root and the Root URL.  I tried(and everything else in between):

Web Root: public_html
Root URL: http://www.billspencere.com/

This fails, saying "The selected web root folder does not exist.".  Can
somebody help me get started obtaining information from a remote server?

Thanks
