Hi, 

I'm a newbie, so please have mercy on my silliness...

I've checked my formats, and can't seem to understand why I can connect to the db, but 
not select the db that I want to use.  The following code always returns the "Couldn't 
select database" error. 

If I use the mysql monitor, I can select the database directly without any problems. 

Could someone point out what I'm missing? 
<?
$db_name="mydb";
$table_name="my_table";
$connection = @mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or die ("Couldn't 
connect.");
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name) or die ("Couldn't select database");
?>


Regards,

Carol
