mysql_connect problem

I try connecting to an existing mysql DB. The first time I directly called mysql_connect with all required params (Path/Database,User,Password) and established a connection without problems. Second time I have used a script that includes a self-written class containing a few Database functions. One of these functions, named 'db_login', does exactly the same as mysql_connect (w. the same params). First case (directly calling) works fine. The second case doesn't report any error and doesn't establish a connection. What could be the reason for this strange behavior ?
