I'm not making two connections, I'm making one and only one call to mysql_connect. Also, there is no way in that function as per the definition page of it (http://us3.php.net/mysql_connect) to have the database selected as per your example below. With my connection though, when I do: $dbh = Mysql_connect(blah, blah, blah) Mysql_select_db("db1") I do call: Mysql_query("query", $dbh); For some reason even though I am calling mysql_select_db("db1") it is latching onto the first available database it has access to (or not as the case/permissions may be) and chooses "db2" instead. I don't know why, connecting to the MySQL 3.23 it selects the right database, connecting to the Mysql 4.x server it doesn't allow a selecting of the table even though I do the select function and it returns true as it was selected properly.
