What credentials do I use with mysql_connect()?

[MythicFrost]

Hi,

I've got a website IE www.example.com thats hosted. I'm trying to connect like this:
$con = mysql_connect("www.example.com", "user*", "pass*");

* the username and password used were provided to access the website/manager, am I using the wrong host or user/name pass?

When I test it on the server, it fails and says its the wrong user/pass or host. Any thoughts?

Kind Regards

You may need to talk with your host as they may set things up differently. For my host, I setup a different account for MySQL connections and the host name was setup as mysql.mydomain.com that I connect to. I chose the prefix on the domain name. So essentially, login to your web host and search the support forums, FAQ, or whatever they have for you to look at and see how they do it.
