I have seen different scripts for working with SQL, and most follow the same
method with on difference.
Variables are defined (host, password, etc.)
mysql_connect command
//then, the difference
mysql_select_db command
//back to common
$sql = "SELECT ... "
$result = mysql_query($ql)
Is the database selection necessary, or is that implied with a SELECT or
other SQL command?
