No luck making a databast connection

[Julian Wright]

I've included db.php into my script, and this is all it contains:

$host = 'localhost';
$username = '***';
$password = '***';
$database = '***';
$connection = mysql_pconnect( $host, $username, $password);
$mysql_select_d b($database, $connection);

obviously with the other fields filled out.

My webhost tells me to use this script:

$dbh=mysql_conn ect ("localhost" , "<USERNAME HERE>", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or
die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("<TABLE NAME>");

neither one of these methods work, actually - I get this error:
[the contents of my db.php file here, in plain text!]No Database Selected

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^???
should be:
mysql_select_db ($database);[color=blue]

This is what i have, the database is empty, and it's just a testing server
anyway, so you can have the username+passwo rd:

$host = 'localhost';
$username = 'yem_dbtest';
$password = 'dbpass';
$database = 'yem_testdb';

$connection = mysql_connect($ host, $username, $password);

//$mysql_select_d b($database, $connection);
mysql_select_db ($database);

Not working!!!
This is what I have on my IE:

$host = 'localhost'; $username = 'yem_dbtest'; $password = 'dbpass';
$database = 'yem_testdb'; $connection = mysql_connect($ host, $username,
$password); //$mysql_select_d b($database, $connection);
mysql_select_db ($database); No Database Selected

If *this* really is what your IE comes up with, than it's just that the
page doesn't get parsed with PHP! Cause it's showing it as plain text.
Is it a *.php file? And do other *.php files work for instance with only
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

seems that your php engine not work.
check the doc type, maybe should be .php not .php3.
