connecting to mysql

[Hakan at Exformedia.se]

Most web hosting companies have one or more MySQL-eneabled offerings, but only a few of them allow you to connect remotely to their database, and most doesn't allow you to add users. I.e. all users will run as the same user. What you need is, as suggested before, to have some CGI-script written in a server language (if you have MySQL that language is probable PHP.)

So you connect from you app to the server scripts which in turn connects with the database.

PS in the lesson you have a comment before the setup that reads: 
 -- set up the connection parameters - edit these to suit your database
