How do you connect to mysql on server?

[BLT Design]

Newbie ?

I have a mysql database on my host, its a windows nt server and i have php triad 2.11 install locally with the new update for mysql. It works fine on my win98 box at home. I just cant figure out how to connect to the db on the server. I cant even figure out how to get to the user/password part of the d/b on the server. Can anyone help?

Well normally your hosting company would give you your id/password/database names.

On an Windows box I would suggest phpMyAdmin. Actually, I'd recommend it on any box .
