PHP and mySQL issue

Ive been given an existing website created in PHP which need to be connect to a mySQL database.

 

So far i have created the table and field in phpmyadmin and editing the setting.php file with the database information

when i test the site at www.5thgrader.com.au  i get the error "Could not query:Table '5thgrader_dbbackup._applicants_applicants' doesn't exist". The page is a registration form, from which all the fields are filled out and the infomation saved to a mySQL database for future reference.

 

I did not write this site and am reasonably new to PHP and SQL, from what i can see the backup database is causing the issue.

 

I have added the code from the functions.php and setting.php files. Feel free to login to phpmyadmin and check the database for yourself as im not sure where i im going wrong.

 

The server uses mySQL 5 and php 5.

 

the fuctions.php code as follows:

 

<?php
function textField($fieldName, $fieldTitle, $required = 0, $fieldValue = "") {
   $result = '';
   $result .= '<p><label for="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '-field"';
   $result .= '>';
   $result .= $fieldTitle;
   if ($required > 0) {
         $result .= '*';
      }
   $result .= '</label> <input id="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '-field" name="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '" title="';
   $result .= $fieldTitle . '" value="';
   $result .= $fieldValue . '" /></p>';
   
   return $result;
}

function textarea($fieldName, $fieldTitle, $required = 0, $fieldValue = "") {
   $result = '';
   $result .= '<p><label for="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '-field"';
   $result .= '>';
   $result .= $fieldTitle;
   if ($required > 0) {
         $result .= '*';
      }
   $result .= '</label> <textarea id="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '-field" name="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '" title="';
   $result .= $fieldTitle . '" ';
   $result .= 'rows="3" cols="20">';
   $result .= $fieldValue;
   $result .= '</textarea></p>';
   
   return $result;
}

function yesNo($fieldName, $fieldTitle, $required = 0, $fieldValue = "") {
   $result = '';
   $result .= '<p><label for="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '-field" ';
   $result .= '>';
   $result .= $fieldTitle;
   if ($required > 0) {
         $result .= '*';
      }
   $result .= '</label> <select name="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '" ';
   $result .= 'id="';
   $result .= $fieldName . '-field" ';  
   $result .= 'title="';
   $result .= $fieldTitle . '">';
   $result .= '<option value="" ';
   $result .= '>Select</option>';
   $result .= '<option value="Yes" ';
   if ($fieldValue == "Yes") {
      $result .= 'selected="selected" ';
   }
   $result .= '>Yes</option>';
   $result .= '<option value="No" ';
   if ($fieldValue == "No") {
      $result .= 'selected="selected" ';
   }
   $result .= '>No</option>';
   $result .= '</select></p>';
   
   return $result;
}

And the setting.php code as follows:

 

<?php

putenv("TZ=Australia/Melbourne");

$dbbu_password = $db_password;
$db_server = "mysql.luderemedia.com";
$dbbu_server = "mysql.luderemedia.com";
$db_tableprefix = "_applicants";

#Deal with magic quotes

    $_POST = stripslashes_recursive($_POST);
    $_COOKIE = stripslashes_recursive($_COOKIE);
}
