$conn =mysql_connect(HOST_NAME, USER, PASSWORD);
}
}
$obj_db = new Database();

You should have config.php been included by include 'config.php';.

There are 4 ways of doing this:

include 'config.php';
include_once 'config.php';
require 'config.php';
require_once 'config.php';

PS: You need the quotes when define the constant.

define('HOST_NAME', "localhost");
define('USER', "root");
define('PASSWORD', "");
define('DATABASE', "xxx");
