Your code below assumes that everything is perfect in your world.  IE:
 no network connectivity issue, all firewall related are properly
configured, the user account actually exists and have the right
permissions, the database exists and so are the table(s), etc....  I
suggest you revisit the official PHP manual and read about each
function you're using.

for starters,

http://php.net/function.mysql-connect

Noticed the result returned.  You didn't bother to check whether if
it's successful or not.  If not why not?  Since the DB is on the same
box, is the firewall, if any, configured properly?  If there's no
firewall or if it's configured properly, is the account valid and have
the right permissions?  Is the MySQL server running on the default
port 3306?

If you don't know how to configure each of the above mentioned, allow
me to introduce you a new friend, Google ;)  Both of those topics are
beyond the scope of this list.
