error using &quot;mysql_select_db&quot;

error using "mysql_select_db"

I have used the following code

<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","james","james");
mysql_select_db("winestore", $connection);
?>

the $connection returns true when I ask, but the second line i think is broken I receive the following error message

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=31) state=1

any ideas ??

have found solution
