execute() error on web server but not on local server

Question

I have a storelocator for my client's website that uses a database to get all the information of the stores. This store locator works perfectly on my desktop and on my laptop local servers (localhost), but once I upload everything to my test site the store locator won't work. In a file called locate.php I include a file/class called store.php, when I go to the locate.php file on my localserver I only get notices which aren't a big deal.

When I go to my site, this error appears.

In the locate.php I also include a file called defines.php which has the information required to access the db (host, username, password, dbname). At first I thougt it could be a GoDaddy problem but I've used localhost and my website IP as the host, deleted and reuploaded the database and nothing seems to work.

Here are the files I've mentioned in this thread.
