Why would this work on some php version but not others?

I have a customer saying that he is using this on multiple servers, but i don't see how the logic isn't broken before the or die statement...

execute SQL query

mysql_select_db($pmv_db_name);
or die("Could not connect:".mysql_error());
if ($pmv_debug) echo "<b>SQL_Query:</b><br />\n".$pmv_action['sql']."<br />\n";
$pmv_result = mysql_query($pmv_action['sql']);
if ($pmv_result==null) { print("Error: ".mysql_error()); return; }

Thanks,
Steve

Try this ..

$selected = mysql_select_db($pmv_db_name, <your connection>) or die("Could not connect:".mysql_error());

I could suggest not using "could not connect:" but someting like "could not select database: "

so you dont confuse yourself with your connect DIE statement if you have one 😉

The semi colon is breaking the command, correct?

mysql_select_db($pmv_db_name); <-semicolon
or die("Could not connect:".mysql_error());
