You will have to find that information out through whoever your host is. There is no one configuration for that. The first question to ask is did you create a MySQL database? If you did, then find out whatever the host was for doing that. Many times, your host will put it at mysql.___domainname___.com, so since you have "spanishbyproz.com", you can probably try mysql.spanishbyproz.com. -Logan > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen Hernandez [mailto:sjhernandez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 7:29 PM > To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: FW: I really need help > > I have literally just started using php and my sql so I really hope > somebody can help me and I am addressing the right people as I don't > want to be a pain in the neck.
