error when establishing a connection

[lukeurtnowski]

Im using this php code to see if I can connect to my database.

$username="fixmy1_luke";
$password="xxx";
$server="localhost";
$database="fixmy1_shores-rentals";

$db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);

$db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);

if ($db_found) {
print "Database Found " . $db_handle;
}
else {
print "Database NOT Found " . $db_handle;
}

What does that mean? is it an error?

thanks

Try this:

  $username="fixmy1_luke";
  $password="xxx";
  $server="localhost";
  $database="fixmy1_shores-rentals";
  
  $db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);
    echo '<br />';
    var_dump($db_handle);

# is connection OK?
if($db_handle) 
{  
    $db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);
    echo '<br />';
    $var_dump($db_found);
  
   echo '<br />';
   if ($db_found)
   {
     print "Database Found " .$db_found; // $db_handle;
   }
   else
   {
     print "Database NOT Found " .$db_found; //  $db_handle;
   }  
}
else
{
   echo '<br />';
   echo 'Unable to connect to the dtabase';
} 

Your message states that a mysql_connect(...) connection resource was found but it looks like the database name is incorrect.
