so, from above (previous post), it looks like the errors youve shown are
actually coming from mysql_query().  what is the result of this (using
credentials from this post and [mycomputer.webaddress.com])

<?php
if(!mysql_connect($host, $dusername, $dbpass)) {
  die(mysql_error());
} else {
  die('successful connection established');
}
