Description:
------------
These statements will not return true on the mysql_select_db

Is there something I need to do in MySQL to make sure the database is selectable. 
The connect statement works, the mysql_select_db statement fails.



Test script:
---------------
//
$link =  mysql_connect('localhost','vlf','vlf') or die ("connect problem");
$db = mysql_select_db('vlf',$link) or die ("false DB");

Expected result:
----------------
select the database from MySQL

Actual result:
--------------
false db

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
