I'm learning PHP MySQL in Dreamweaver 8 and it indicates "Make sure you put the directory info (public_html) into the Host Directory space.

I recently managed to get dreamweaver to connect leaving this space blank. Is there a format that I can use to identify the Host Directory besides Public_html?

ULMB usually follows a directory somewhat like this:
/hosted/subs/ulmb.com/*/*/*****/public_html/

The first asterisk would be replaced with first letter of subdomain.
The second asterisk would be replace with second letter of subdomain.
The last set of asterisks would be replaced with the full subdomain NOT including .ulmb or .com.net.sc

For example, borgpics.ulmb.com's root directory would be:
/hosted/subs/ulmb.com/b/o/borgpics/public_html/

This format is for FREE & PAID accounts using the .ulmb domain.

When connecting with dreamweaver, you will be automatically in the public_html folder; This is why you can leave it blank, as filling something in, would only bring it into another folder on your directory.

You need to leave the directory blank in dreamweaver.
