how to connect to the database in openshift application

I did as following

MySQL 5.1 database added. Please make note of these credentials:

    Root User: xxxxxxx
    Root Password: xxxxxxx
    Database Name: php


 Connection URL: mysql://$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT/

You can manage your new MySQL database by also embedding phpmyadmin-3.4. The phpmyadmin username and password will be the same as the MySQL credentials above.

phpMyAdmin 3.4 added. Please make note of these MySQL credentials again:

    Root User: xxxxxxx
    Root Password: xxxxxxx

    URL: https://php-doers.rhcloud.com/phpmyadmin/

and i try to connect db using bellow PDO code .but it does not work 

$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=mysql://$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT/;dbname=php', "xxxxxx, "xxxxxx");

I don't know what is the connection URL mean ?

I would like to add some information to future reference. Today I am trying to deploy a Drupal installation to Open Shift (OS) and tried to configure MySql. I connected to OS via SSH (rhc ssh ), went to app-root/data/sites/default. Following cat settings.php to see how OS configure database. Here it is:

// When run from Drush, only $_ENV is available.  Might be a bug
if (array_key_exists('OPENSHIFT_APP_NAME', $_SERVER)) {
  $src = $_SERVER;
} else {
  $src = $_ENV;
}
$databases = array (
  'default' => 
  array (
    'default' => 
    array (
      'database' => $src['OPENSHIFT_APP_NAME'],
      'username' => $src['OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_USERNAME'],
      'password' => $src['OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD'],
      'host' => $src['OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST'],
      'port' => $src['OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT'],
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'prefix' => '',
    ),
  ),
);
$conf['file_private_path'] = $src['OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR'] . 'private/';
$conf['file_temporary_path'] = $src['OPENSHIFT_TMP_DIR'] . 'drupal/';

So I created a php folder into git repository (see OS documentation about Drupal), copied a clean Drupal install to it and paste code above to settings.php. After pushing to git, restarted OS app and worked!

Open php myadmin from webconsole , and on left corner you will get some Ip

That is like xx.xx.xx.xx:3306 , so your hostname is xx.xx.xx.xx

Ip address wil work , I have tried and worked for me

There is an error in your connection string plus $OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_* are env variables and need to be fetched via getenv php function.

So try the following:

define('DB_HOST', getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST'));
define('DB_PORT',getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT')); 
define('DB_USER',getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_USERNAME'));
define('DB_PASS',getenv('OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD'));
define('DB_NAME',getenv('OPENSHIFT_GEAR_NAME'));

$dsn = 'mysql:dbname='.DB_NAME.';host='.DB_HOST.';port='.DB_PORT;
$dbh = new PDO($dsn, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
