Im using this code for my php script:

$DBhost = "http://www.uuuq.com"; // Database Server
$DBuser = "arkwellgames_arkwell"; // Database User
$DBpass = "---"; // Database Pass
$DBName = "arkwellgames_guestbook"; // Database Name
$table = "Guestbook"; // Database Table
$numComments = 10; // Number of Comments per page

But for some reason it cant find it..the code isnt working

Do I have the server and user names all correct? Should the Database table name be * instead?

$DBhost = "http://www.uuuq.com"; // Database Server

Change that to "localhost" and it should work

yes, and if that still didn't work.. shorten your database name and database username. Use only 16 characters.

Do both of the above and it will work.

$DBhost should be localhost

CODE

$DBhost = "localhost"; // Database Server

Database info should be written somewhat link this:

CODE

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'siteurl_myuser');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'siteurl_mydb');

*** Edited by swordz. Incorrect connection data - vndv and uuuq use a different format to the other server***

This would work, but so would his current method.

His current method will not work because he never put his site url in the user and db name slot.

He's talking about not using define.
And considering how he put the http://uuuq.com in for server, it's probably a script he downloaded, not made. Therefore changing stuff probably isn't the best idea.

His site URL is arkwellgames.uuuq.com. The arkwellgames_ is equivalent to sitename_zxq_net_ on the old server.
