Need help with php

mudsnake · 2005-06-23, 01:12 AM

Can anyone give me a good idea on how to install a php script. Heres were I am at
Edit file: config.php and change the values to match your server
$DBhost = "localhost"; // Host name
$DBuser = ""; // Database user name
$DBpass = ""; // Database password
$DBname = ""; // Database name
What do I change these to?
The first one has me totaly ignorant and the next three I believe I know. To be honest I am not even sure if I have created a empty data base like it asked to do. If it helps I am using h2o hosting with C-Panel.
I am new to any type or programming and trying to learn on my own, so if you can explain it as simple as possible that would be great.
Thanks in advance

In your control panel, you should be able to create a database. When you create that database in the control panel, it'll ask you for a database name, username and password. Whatever you enter there will need to go into the config file that you are editing.
