Let's say I have a VPS with a public IP 123.123.100.101
I put a PHP script in there which is going to read a table from my blog database (say
the database name is h123084_wp702)

So, first I have to grant remote access, right?


Then the issue is to update my connection code. I have this:
PHP:
<?php

$host ="";
$user ="";
$pass ="";
$db    ="h123084_wp702";
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db) or die("Cannot connect to database...");

?>
What are the correct values of $host, $user, and $pass?

I cannot update my original post with attachments, because it was detected as spam :(
So here are the pictures, anyway.

Hello,

The host is the domain name or IP address of the remote server that hosts the MySQL database, and the username/password fields are for the database username and the password for that database username.

Thank you.
