note 7865 modified in mysql_db_query by ronabop

I too spent a ridiculous amount of time making mysql_db_query() functional. The three tricks that got me out of the pickle were: 1) Use "localhost" as db parameter for mysql_connect() but "database_name" as db parameter for mysql_db_query(). 2) Put your query string in a variable and send the variable as your second parameter. 3) The result from mysql_connect() is the third parameter for mysql_db_query(). Code samples above were helpful. http://www.php.net/manual/function.mysql-db-query.php
