Remote mysql database connection

Question

if php uses the following server name mysqlxx.90 and the username ouxxxxxxch to connect successfully to the local database and the server IP is 1x.xx.xx.x8, what would I usually enter as the server name to connect remotely.

Confusing question... I can connect properly to the database through ssh and command line, could it be that I'm just being blocked remotely, and how would I prove this??

Just use the server IP to connect. Obviously, port 3306 will need to be open to connections and your MySQL username and password must be accepted by the server.

You can try

telnet <serverip> 3306

on the command line to see if you can connect to the server on port 3306.
