if the php script and mysql are on the same server localhost should work if not then you need to replace localhost with the ip/hostname of the mysql server

Are you trying to access it over LAN or WAN?

If you want to access this only inside your LAN then just ping the host computer and grab the IP.

Otherwise if you're running the server locally but want to access it over WAN go to something like http://www.whatismyip.com grab your WAN IP and forward the appropriate ports (if needed).

If the server is being run remotely, what address are you using to add/update your content, or how are you connecting rather?
Use the hostname that you're using there.
For example, connecting to an IP - thats the hostname, connecting to a domain - hostname.
