Hi!

Long story short, you're asking the wrong question. :)
XHP works very well with remote databases but this is not your problem.

Your problem is that the sf.net MySql server does not accept remote 
connections.

This is documented here:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=4297&group_id=1#mysql_questions

May I access my project MySQL database from outside of SourceForge.net? 
The MySQL database service is only accessible from the SourceForge.net 
shell and project web servers.

May I have receive database service from SourceForge.net without hosting 
a project on SourceForge.net? The project database service is only 
available to projects hosted on SourceForge.net.

What you should do is upload XHP to your web space on sf.net and run the 
installer from there, as they only accept connections to the database 
servers from the sf.net webservers.
