You could not connect (in case you did not figure that out) and:

etc. are from the fact you do not have a valid $db.
$db = mysql_connect( ... );
if( $db ){
...
}
First, I would check the user/password with 'mysql', e.g.:
mysql newone myname mypassword
If that works, then it is a mystery to me as to why it is failing but you may
want to connect using network sockets e.g. by specififying the host:
$db = mysql_connect( 'the.host.name', 'myname', 'mypassword );

Also, you may want to check out class.DBI which abstracts the database like
the perl module by the same name: http://evilbill.org/php/DBI.php3
