Does anyone know how to connect to a mysql Database using php on a at&t hosted site? I had it working fine on my Yahoo hosted sit But I cannot get the connection string to work at all on my new AT&T Site

With yahoo's version on mysql I was using

Code:

$con = @mysqli_connect("mysql",$UserName,$Password);

AT&T's version I must use

Code:

$con = mysql_connect("mysql-g35a.mysqldbserver.com",$UserName, $Password);

I suppose the reason is that AT&T has an older version of mysql running on the server, which does not support the improved connection, mysqli.
