PHP MySQL problem

Question

Whenever I try to run a php script on my website hosted by hostgator, I get this error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'pieboy13_(user name)' (1) in /home/pieboy13/public_html/quigley/WebContent/Scripts/register.php on line 6 Error: Could not connect to server. Error Unknown MySQL server host 'pieboy13_(user name)' (1)

Where (Username) is my username.

What could cause this?

Please include your code from register.php. Especially the first 10 lines. — Paul Schreiber, Dec 09 '10 at 01:39

You are triying to connect to your username! Check your configuration for server url and make sure it points to your mysql server.

Yay! You guys really helped! Me and one of my somewhat beginners friends had been stumped over that for about half an hour! Gotta read those docs better, I guess... – user497721 Dec 09 '10 at 02:30

Things that can cause this:

You are using the wrong hostname for the mysql server.

Looks like you might have put your database or username into the server argument.
