The connections string is of the format:

databasename@hostname username password

such that:

test@localhost webmaster letmein

where:
o test is the name of the database you want to connect to
o localhost because the database is on the same machine
o webmaster is the user set up to access the database from the web
o letmein is the password used by the webmaster user.

Of course, you would have to have the user set up in mysql as well.
