Hiya,
I think I found the code----------

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL server."); 
$db = mysql_select_db("name_of_database") or die ("Unable to select requested database."); 
?>

But I am afraid I do not know how to replace the contants. Can some one do that for me?

The database username is "Clienty" and the password is "clienty"

But I do not know the host, or whta it looks like

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","Clienty","clienty") or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL server.");
$db = mysql_select_db("<strong>name_of_database</strong>") or die ("Unable to select requested database.");
?>

I have added your username and password but you need the name of your database to go in the bold bit above.
Localhost is probably right, 90% of the time it is used as server name.

If on the off chance you are using this off line (on your own PC) then you may need to remove username and password, just leave empty quotes (""), for the web you need the username and password
