Connecting to MySQL:

<?php
          $host="localhost";
          $username="your_username";
          $password="your_password";
          $db_name="database_name";


               mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die ("cannot connect");
               mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die ("cannot select database");
?>
