connect_mysql() question

[system_critical]

Hi,

I have a seemingly silly question. In the connect_mysql() function. How do I determine what my local host is? I have hosting through Blue Host and I've created the database, but nowhere can I figure out how to access a specific DB. Thanks.

You could try "localhost" , it is very host specific what the link to mysql is.
Once you get mysql_connect() to work, use mysql_select_db() to use the correct db.

Thanks, that got it. I didn't realize I should be so literal. Thanks.
