What exactly are you trying to do? Judging by the code that's PHP, do you not know how to connect to a SQL table with PHP?

[jssom]

yes i dont know

 

uploaded the pages to my website so i have to make connect to my computer

 

how to do that

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

 

If the MySQL server is running from the same machine as the PHP script is running from, localhost is fine, or 127.0.0.1

i know but its not in the same machine

Then replace localhost with the IP of the machine the MySQL server is running on.

Sure, assuming you have the user and password correct as well.

No, but I think you should take a step back and maybe look at the basics. PHP has built-in functions for communicating with MySQL, so if you're have troubles understanding this problem I think you need to do a bit more homework ^^

That's ok, you can see this as a learning experience :P

Just read some tutorials about how to connect to MySQL databases from PHP and make some small test programs. This'll also help you in the future to figure out problems such as this.
