Ok, this is generally what I do if I have to work on a new website
involving MySQL database:
I get the password to the control panel from my client. The link in most
of the cases is www.domain.com/cpanel, but it can be different too --
hardly matters. Once I'm logged in, I click on an icon that says
something like "MySQL Databases". Once I click on that, I reach a
section where I can create a database. After creating the database I
create a user name with the password, and then assign that user name to
the database. I create my tables on my PC using MySQL-Front, and then
export them into an SQL file, which I upload using phpmyadmin.
Then from within the program, how you can connect to the database, you
may find this link useful:
http://www.aboutwebdesigning.com/2005/10/10/programmatically-deciding-which-database-to-connect-in-php
(copy/paste if it appears broken).
Another thing: create a file phpinfo.php with just this thing:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Upload it and run it. It'll tell you what sort of database you have
running on the server.

Hi Amrit,
Thanks for the reply. I tried all that. I am stumped.
