After a bit of frustration (and despite what would seem to be advice to the contrary), you _must_ feed the return value into a variable. So, for example, this won't work: mysql_select_db($dbName); $selectResult = mysql_error(); But this will: $selectResult = mysql_select_db($dbName,$connectDB); This is at least true with PHP 3.0.7, MySQL 3.22.22, and RedHat 6.0.
