I'm not sure about go daddy but I know some web hosts need a specific path to mysql server. Most us localhost but others, such as ipage use a full path through the virtual server. Go into your cpanel at godaddy and then "mysql databases" and it should have a "server" title with address below it somewhere in the page.

Just to note, you should also be using mysqli_connect.
