Connecting To Mysql through php/mysqli

I am getting the gollowing error message: PHP Warning: mysqli_select_db() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in C:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\PHP\_debug_tmp.php on line 5 PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_quesry() in C:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\PHP\_debug_tmp.php on line 9 With the following code:

1    <?php
2    //in order to connect
3    $conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","67568");
4    //inorder to designate database
5    mysqli_select_db("php_example", $conn);

6

7    //creating a table
8    $sql = "CREATE TABLE inventory (id int not null primary key auto_increment, item varchar(75))";
9    $result = mysqli_query($sql, $conn);
10    echo $result;
11    ?>

I am a total noob and am trying to copy this right out of a book (except the mysqli part which i had to struggle through on my own). I am using MySql 4.1.8 and PHP5 on Apache 2.0 server. Any help would be great. Thank you, jozef
