localhost is your own box and has usually the ip 127.0.0.1
(loopback address)

I need the mysql localhost.

This is example of another site:

<?php
/*This page is solely for the database conection.*/
DEFINE('DB_DETAILS', true);
DEFINE('DB_HOST', "sql213.0fees.net");
DEFINE('DB_USER', "fees0_4950895");
DEFINE('DB_PASS', "*******");
DEFINE('DB_NAME', "fees0_4950895_myptc");
?>

if you want to connect to an sql database you have to use an FQDN
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name ) or IP address, which should appear in cpanel


( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost )

<?php
/*This page is solely for the database conection.*/
DEFINE('DB_DETAILS', true);
DEFINE('DB_HOST', "sql213.0fees.net");
DEFINE('DB_USER', "fees0_4950895");
DEFINE('DB_PASS', "*******");
DEFINE('DB_NAME', "fees0_4950895_myptc");
?>

sql213.0fees.net would be the fqdn of the sql server
(ping sql213.0fees.net to get it's ip address)

I think he's trying to ask for MySQL's hostname.

@amplec: it's just localhost.

DEFINE('DB_HOST',"localhost");
