mysql_select_db already opens a connection to the database; you don't need
the mysql_connect() call afterwards.
In your code you have mysql_select_db() as fourth parameter to
mysql_connect(). While the fourth parameter is boolean and won't generate
any error at runtime, it's use- and senseless. The 4th parameter on
mysql_connect specifies if PHP should use an existing link, or create a new
one.
You should decide whether you want to go with mysql_select_db() or
mysql_connect().
