Database conection

Hi,

I am trying to access my database with a php page but I need the host/server name, which in my "Database credentials" says is "localhost". What is the real host/server name?

thanks

You can even leave blank that field, otherwise localhost is ok

I am creating a php page to conect to my database and the command for the host can not be "localhost" because the it thinks it is my computer

If your script is running on a Altervista server then "localhost" is that server.

If you're trying to connect to your database from a script running on your PC, well, that's not possible because the server will reject the connection.
