Need help with mySQL database and PHP

[auggie]

I friend has a domain and hosting service. I initiated a database for the website. I have used mySQL/PHP to work with databases on my site, but i can't connect to the database for this site. I have an IP for the database and login information, i can use the phpMyAdmin at the ip for the database, but i cant connect to it thought my php scripts.

Any help?

Edit your mysql configuration script. You have to mention database server name or IP, username and password.

Depending on the server setup this could also be a firewall issue.

Try "localhost" instead of server name or IP
