Morning All-
I connect to Mysql 4.0.13 using mysql_connect AND returned handle is not false
then I call access to mysql_select_db which always returns NULL and
causes Exception
I also tried mysql_connect with supplied 4th param as DB with no joy
The DB name is uppercase..does this matter?
It appears that you are using PHP, but I don't think that's relevant here.
Case sensitivity is a bit complex - see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html
- but it's generally best to match case, for portability if nothing
else. It could well be your problem if you are referring to the
database 'FooBar' as 'FOOBAR' and MySQL is running on a *nix platform.
