@drewbee:

Don't just assume the database is on the server itself. I have seen plenty of webhosts that didn't have it localhost.

@Sacred Tinker, you can of course ask Godadday for that :)

About WAMP, that's a little tool to install a webserver with PHP and MySQL support on your own computer. When using PHP you cannot run it just nativly in a browser like Internet Explorer. You need a server to progress the code and make the outcome of it. WAMP takes care of that.

When using WAMP to test your PHP applications, everything is localhost (you can assume that now) since it's on your own computer. (locahost basically means "this computer")

I highly advise you to read some basic PHP tutorials, mainly about form progressing and the basics. :)
