Congratulations on asking completely the wrong question.
You want to know how to connect to a database on godaddy.com.

what should i write
in place of "localhost" "mysql_user" "mysql_password"

Don't know anything about godaddy but this is what you need generically
"localhost" the address of the database ie dbnumber.godaddy.com
"mysql_user" a user name with authority to access the database
"mysql_password" The password for the database applicable to said user
These should be in quotes as in your example

and what would be database name?

I can't believe you are asking that.
But then I don't know how godaddy works
Good luck anyway

There's no way for us to tell you how to connect without you, yourself, knowing your connection details.

code green was a little to abrupt with his response, but maybe he's had a bad day. Don't worry about him.

What you'll need to do is, get in contact with godaddy.com then they should be able to provide you with the details!

IT may even be in your usercontrolPanel, in which case your details would be stored in there and you can create tables through the phpMyAdmin.

If this ISNT the case, contact godaddy. It's the only way!

Hope you get there eventually.

Hi.

I think code green is running low on coffein today :)

But as both he and Markus said, we can not tell you what to put in these fields, as the information used to connect to a MySQL database is very sensitive and usually kept far out of reach from prying eyes.

You will have to contact your host to get this information, unless you are able to find it somewhere in a Control Panel.

Can we see the code where you are downloading the data from the database?
Are you getting any errors?
At the moment we can only guess what is happening.
