Thanks again to everyone.
I have just checked the servers phpinfo, and turns out they are running PHP
Version 4.3.11 while I have verstion 5.2.8, could this change any of the
advice?

Gary,
you can check this by either creating a file containing this:
and putting it up on your webserver, then open in with your browser,
or you could look at the output of "php -i | less" on the command
line.
After you enabled the mysqli extension on your host, you might change
mysqli_connect('$var', '$var2', ...); to
mysqli_connect($var, $var2, ...)
One side node.. you should apply addslashes() also to
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'), because an evil person could manipulate the
value of that variable to execute SQL-Injections.

Ok.. I have added
[MySQL]
;Gary, this is the code from the forum.
extension=mysqli.so
to the php.ini file on my machine, I saved the file. Is there anything else
I need to do?
Thanks again.

I think your hosting company might be smoking something they shouldn't

Let me paraphrase - you've been developing an application in your local
environment, and you're now moving it to your hosting environment. It
sounds very much like the mysqli extension isn't loaded (by default) in
your hosting environment.
Find out by calling phpinfo() - if there is no information from mysqli,
the extension wasn't loaded. Or try using extension_loaded('mysqli')
and see what that says.
To load the extension, you could use dl() in your code although it might
have been disabled. Otherwise you need to modify the correct php.ini
and add the extension=mysqli.so line.

Re: [PHP] Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysqli_connect() in
I had the code written the way you suggested, but changed it to the way the
hosting company suggested.
I am unclear. I have php 5.2.8.8 on my local machine, I also have MySQL
5.1.30 set up locally as well.
I am using godaddy.com as a host. I assumed that the php was running on the
host server and the local php that I have/use is only for the testing
server.
Does this sound correct to you?
Again, many thanks.

The php.ini you need to look at is the one one the server where you're
running your PHP code. The remote host is just your database server I
assume?
Your code does look a little odd though:
$dbc = mysqli_connect('$hostname','$username','$password')
or die('Error connecting to MySQL server');
mysql_select_db('$usertable');
I would have written this as:
$dbc = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password,$usertable)
or die('Error connecting to MySQL server');
