cannot connect mysql

[bohlinghaus]

i know this has been asked before but unfortunately i do not see a solution...

mysql_connect('localhost','xxx_xxx','xxxx')or die("Cannot connect to server. Sorry.");
mysql_select_db('xxxx_xxxx_xxxx')or die("Sorry, database is not reachable");

it dies on the second line.

a dbase is created, so no problem there.

i know you have to create dbase on cpanel, but can tables be created with php? maybe that is where the problem lies.

$link = mysql_connect('localhost','xxx_xxx','xxxx')or die("Cannot connect to server. Sorry.");
mysql_select_db('xxxx_xxxx_xxxx', $link)or die("Sorry, database is not reachable");

use the above code for connect hopefully it will be connected with the $link.
i think you have missed the link.
