I take it that the connection worked fine? (Yeah, dumb question, but you
never know.)
What do you get if you use error checking?
if (!$dbh = mysql_connect(. . .)) {
echo "Could not connect; reason was " . mysql_error() . "\n";
return false;
}
if (!$sel_db = mysql_select_db('mydb', $dbh)) {
echo "Could not select database '$sel_db'; reason was " .
mysql_error() . "\n";
return false;
}
i.e. what do you get if you use mysql_error() after this fails?
