Mysql Database Connection

[samporras]

Hi guys.

 

This is a pretty simple question. I'm relatively new to php, and I'm trying to use the php mysql_connect() function to connect to a database I created, but I don't know what to put in for the servername and user.

 

for the server, I wasn't sure if I need put in my domain name, server name (that's indicated in cpanel), or just localhost. I'm assuming that for the username I just put in any of the users I created using the MySQL Database wizard.

 

Thanks in advance.

// Setup database access
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "your-domain_your-user";
$dbpass = "database-password";
$dbname = "your-domain_your-filename";
