This is the code I used to connect http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9025182/what-is-preventing-php-from-connecting-to-my-mysql-database on the shared-hosting server where I originally hosted the database: DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'username'); DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'database'); if ($dbc = mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD)) { // Make the connnection. if (!mysql_select_db (DB_NAME)) { // If it can't select the database. // Handle the error. trigger_error("Could not select the database!\n
