I am developing a website where users can ad entries to a database. I am using phpMyAdmin to create the database. It works perfectly on my local testing environment, but when I upload it to my remote server it doesn't. I have used my hosting company's (GoDaddy) version of phpMyAdmin to create a database of the same name as on my local environment, still no luck. I have used GoDaddy's provided code to connect to the Database, I haven't gotten that to work either.
If anyone has experienced any difficulty in a similar situation I would really appreciate any advise that may help me with my problem. Thanks!

godaddy is very picky on where you can access their mysql servers. they don't allow remote connections. you can only use them from their hosting plans. you need to find your host address and then everything will work. i will give instructions where to find this if you need me to.
