What database?

what does you code currently try?

In order to help you people will normally require some basic info such as the above, I would suggest that you post a sample bit of PHP code showing the problem.

I'm having the same problem.

Here's the code I'm using. Have done this before without a problem until the phpMyAdmin was upgraded to 2.3.2 with MySQL 3.23.53a . Now when I try creating a new database I can't connect. The existing ones are working fine though. Just the new ones aren't working.

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password")
or die("Could not open connection to database");
echo "First Line of database connection works  <BR>";

mysql_select_db("database",$db)
or die("Unable to select the database.");

I keep getting:

"First Line of database connection works

Unable to select the database.

Any ideas?

there is 2 things that can be causing this,
1st. you have misconfigured the config.php your (database name)
the database name is not "nuke"; go to your myphp admin
to find the correct database name,
( database name running on localhost)
look to see if you have dumped the nuke.sql file thats the tables for your database, look in phpmy admin the structure and see if the nuke tables are there, my guess is something is misconfigured, either you have not dumped the tables or your database name is wrong in your config.php.
do what i stated here, you have the site up and running in no time.
