HTTP 500 ERROR while connecting database for first time

[plethron]

Hi , I have my database ready and website too. But I am not able to connect it through PHP. It shows request cant be handled error (HTTP 500 error). Here is the script which i am using in my config.php :

$host =“localhost” // change to your host
$username =“id102179_admin” // change to your mysql user name by default root
$pass ="*****" //add password if any
mysql_connect($host,$username,$pass) //don’t change the sequence
mysql_select(“id102179_pointblank360”)

Please, Let me know if there is any problem with the script or am i missing some settings which needs to be done on 000webhost server or if my machine should also have to be php enabled?
