It seems that your config is wrong... can you post some bits of your code in order to have a better understanding?

function connectToDB(){
$host="localhost:3306"; // Host name
$username="root"; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="mass_mailer"; // Database name

// Connect to server and select database.
$con = mysqli_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
return $con;

}
?>

hey it writes cannot connect to Db and my database name is the right one...... what to do?

1. Check that your db is up and running. Copy paste your db url to your browser to test or go to your phpmyadmin link.
2. Check your db port to be sure that your db is listening on 3306
