MySQL database connection: what to put for hostname?

[pinkyLwin]

I am using PHP, Mysql , Apache on Debian

i tried to connect database but cannot connect.

my host name is = debianpink

my IP address is = 192.168.1.132

domain name is = orjpn.co.jp

my code is as follows
--------------------------------------------
$hostname = '';
$dbname = 'phpmysimplelog in';
$username = 'root';
$password = 'abc';

// Let's connect to host
mysql_connect($ hostname, $username, $password) or DIE('Connection to host is failed, perhaps the service is down!');
// Select the database
mysql_select_db ($dbname) or DIE('Database name is not available!');
