MySQL Connection Error - mysql_select_db

Thanks for all the help so far, great to have others out there helping. Only way it will let me connect is to explicitly use the connection information in the connect statement and the select_db statements, can't pass in the variables. This seems a little on the insecure side, and a pain. Is it supposed to be like this, or is it just something that is wrong on my php implementation? It would just be nice to have the connection information in 1 file, so that if it is updated or changed, it can be modified in one file, instead of all files that need it.
