First, you need to setup an mysql database on the server itself.
It usually takes the form of database_name, userID, password.
Database_name is generally the same as the FTP account.
You should ask your host if they even PHP to begin with, then, how to setup
the mysql information.
Once you've done that, you should not have a problem with the script.
