How do you define the Host in this PHP script?

[Jaylada]

I'm not too familiar with how to define this, so any help on where to find this on my ISP would be helpful.  Thank you in advance.


<?php

define('DBINFO_HOST', ' what name here');
define('DBINFO_USER', 'xxxxx');
define('DBINFO_PASS', 'xxxxx');
define('DBINFO_DATA', 'databaseName');

?>

if the database engine is running at the same machine, under the same IP-Address, as the webserver, put 'localhost' there.
Else, put the name or IP-Address of the database machine there.

I'm still having trouble connecting.

If there is a port defined for the server....   Is this referenced by using a colon between server and port name?

www.servername:portname



Thanks in advance

right.
If your host is not listening to standard port, you add the port with the colon.

Code:

www.hostname.com:1234
