PC Nerd Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 hi guys, i cant seem to find the error in this code: $db = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUsername, $dbPassword) or die("connection failed"); $db_select = mysql_select_db($databasename, $db) or die("no selection"); i have checked the variables above. if there was no such database, would it return an error such as "no database in MySQL"? thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53546-select-database-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

chigley Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 So the error is with the first line. Comment out the second and let's see the error in the first.

trq Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Your connection is failing, pretty simple. Either your username, password or host are incorrect. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53546-select-database-error/#findComment-264625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
