Connecting to Database? - Post ID 300262

I have created a form and published it with the details necessary to connect to the database on my hosting server.
However when I open the page which I have setup on SD where the form should be I get a message '1066modelflying.club refused to connect.'
I tried speaking to IONOS who host the site and they say that the database can not connect to an external application.
I have in the past written several php based pages using a database but it appears that as this is generated externally it won't work.
Is it possible to get the php script that WFB generates, so that I can paste it in using the method I have learnt for using php scripts?

Hi Rocky,
You can’t connect from your pc through the html editor or SD. If your getting this error online through your browser I would check that you’re sure you have the database connection setting entered correctly in WFB?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
