PHP connect to created database

[inkmon]

I am trying to get this script to connect and cannot get the input values right
This is one attempt. I have left the password out of course.
I would really appreciate getting the correct format. Most hosts specify the dbhost dbname dbuser etc I have followed all the forms I can think of but to no luck. Need advice.

Standard php script

<?php

$dbhostname = "jp22.net_las";//Domain and user name. Tried just localhost here
$dbname = "las_art";// name of database
$dbusername = "las";
$dbpassword = "*******";

if(!$dbConn = mysql_connect($dbhostname,$dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword ))
die('I could not connect to the database. Clease check the inc_dbcon file and make sure everything is correct.');
if(!mysql_select_db($dbname, $dbConn))
die('I could not select the database. Check the inc_dbcon file and make sure everything is correct.');
?>

I realize it is just a simple statement but I keep getting the input wrong. I really would appreciate help on this

Well I finally got the right values to enter. I recreated the database manually and there were the values
so I am ok.
