Bug description: mysql_select_db fails to select database using variables
Description:
------------
When calling a function to connect to MySQL, while supplying a database
name for mysql_select_db() through a variable defined at an include file,
the database is not selected.
Reproduce code:
---------------
## connection.cfg.php says:
<?
$MySQL_DatabaseName = "foo";
?>
## main.php says:
<?
include("connection.cfg.php");
connect();
function connect() {
global $MySQL_DatabaseName;
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "########");
mysql_select_db($MySQL_DatabaseName);
$row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM footable WHERE ID =
1"), MYSQL_ASSOC) or die(mysql_error());
print_r($row);
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Expected result is to obtain a view of the row's data through the
print_r() function.
Actual result:
--------------
mysql_error() prints: "No database selected".
PHP warns mysql_fetch_array() has been given an invalid MySQL result
resource.
