I need to find out how I find out who my mysql host is, how do I do that?

Question

I am trying to use the php feature include 'db.php', but I need to know whom the mysql host is and how to find out?

I have a phpmyAdmin for my sql provider, but I can't seem to locate what exactly is needed in way of this host part of the feature I am refering to. Do you know anything about php?
