I'm uploading a site to godaddy for a client and have successfully made a database but

am not sure how to connect to the database in godaddy.

 

I know in the local machine at home I use localhost username and password but

what about the msql_connect info for godaddy. Can't seem to find the data anywhere

 

would really appreciate your help

 

thanks

Something like this should work, providing you have all the details

 

$dbhost = "yours.secureserver.net";
$dbuser = "user";
$dbpass = "pass";
$dbname = "name";
$db = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
mysql_select_db($dbname);
echo mysql_error();  

I used to use Godaddy. Do NOT use localhost. Go into the database with phpMyAdmin and then get the server location from there at the top. It'll look like what pat24 put up.
