Connection to Mysql Server

Hie,
Please tell me what I am doing wrong with my
connection to the server.
$DBHost="";->IP address e.g 205.150.253.140
$DBUser="";->Username e.g test
$DBPass="";->Password e.g testmail
function Connect () {
global $DBHost,$DBUser,$DBPass;
}
I get ;
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on



------------------
pro

The variables have to go inside the MYSQL_CONNECT(); bracketes. Like so:

MYSQL_CONNECT("205.150.253.140", "test", "testmail");
