Basic MySQL

[JohnOne 1,603]

I'm trying to connect to a mysql database, I've never used a database in my life, but I did make one in cpanel, where a pal of mine let me use his website for testing.

Its not happening though

#include 'mysql.au3'

$sUsername = "user"
$sPassword = "Pass"
$sDatabase = "test"
$sServer = "188.65.112.***" ; there are digits here in code

$sql = _MySQLConnect($sUsername, $sPassword, $sDatabase, $sServer)
MsgBox(0,"",@error) ;=============================================== 2
If IsObj($sql) Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Yay")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "Boooo");========================================= this
EndIf

I've probably gotten something basicaly incorrect, or missed something out.

Can anyone help me?

EDIT:

Im unsure where the @error 2 comes from as it seems the function "_MySQLConnect" sets error to 1

EDIT2:

I've installed Mysql so I think I have the relevant drivers installed, but not certain how I would know for sure.

EDIT3;

Perhaps its a firewall issue, what would I have to allow if it were?

EDIT4:

I have added the wildcard "%" to Remote Mysql in cpanel, and from what I have read, this opens port 3306.
