Re: "Couldn't select database." --> database DOES exist!!!

Try adding mysql_error() to the die finction. It normally tells you exactly what mysql is trying to do and why it went wrong. e.g: $db = mysql_select_db("searchDB", $connection) or die("Couldn't select database. MySQL said: " .mysql_error()); Thanks William.
