Connecting to MySQL-database

I'm creating a WWW-page in www.freehostingcloud.com. I created a database of the name sample. But how can I connect to it in MySQL and PHP? I saw from PHP.net that I should type 

mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');

OK, so my_db=sample but what are those parameters 'localhost', 'my_user' and 'my_password'?

They are documented in the Parameters section of mysqli::__construct().

They are the host, username and password required to access your database. Localhost means your computer aka 127.0.0.1, the others are the users you create in your local db.
