how to connect to my mysql database??

[hos]

I 've been searching for a FAQ or help file which shows me how to connect to my mysql database

my last try is
$conn = mysql_connect("mysql05.powweb.com",$user,$password);

(I saw this server name in my phpmyadmin)


I also tried first
mysql_connect("localhost",$user,$password);


how must I connect ???

further on I think the help files are a bit outdated if the tell you how to install phpmyadmin ?????:p

This should work. I have no idea how to install php though :(


$username = "yourusername";
$password = "yourpassword";
$server = "mysql.yourhost.com";
$db = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);

[hos]
