Hi,

I have a new LAMP install, that seem to work perfectly - individually. Apache, MySQL, PHP and phpMyAdmin

Trying to connect PHP and MySQL

Using

<?
$username=“username”;
$password=“password”;
$database=“username-databaseName”;
?>

and then

// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection = mysql_connect (“localhost”, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ’ . mysql_error());
}

when i load the page i get the error

Can’t use db : No database selected

Please help

A few things… mysql_connect (in PHP) returns a resource, not a
boolean, so be careful there. With that said…

Finish it:

http://us2.php.net/mysql_select_db

Good luck.
