How to enable MySQL remote access?

Is there a setting to limit the number of access to the MySQL database in PHP?

• I got a report from my user that on his shared host, my PHP program does  not work as expected. It works fine locally and on most other servers. Since  the program is hardcoded and uses external libraries, I cannot test it  easily to find out the cause. The user has let me login to his web site  and as I view the result, it looks like the sever sets a limitation to  access the MySQL server per page load. It doesn't throw the fatal  error though.  The  un-working part of the program is that when it fetches external web  contents (feed) and tries to display them, it returns empty data. Some requests works and some don't. The urls are all have the same domain. That's the strange part. So the requests to external web sites is not entirely blocked. During  the process of generating the web contents, there are lots of interactions with the MySQL detabase. So I'm wondering if there is a way to detect if the server has special settings to limit the access to the database.
