Cannot select database?

[feezle]

I'm by no means a PHP expert but I've made several PHP based websites before. I had a website running that had a full member database with loggin in and private messaging capabilities all written in PHP. I haven't done any PHP coding in awhile though and I started trying to write something today, here's the code:

<?php

$user="feezle06_feezle";
$host="localhost";
$password="*snip*";
$database="feezle06_southside";

$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die ("Could not connect to server.");

$db = mysql_select_db($database, $connection) or die ("Could not select database.");

?>

When I load the page up it has the "Could not select database." message I programmed in. I cannot for the life of me figure out whats wrong? The database feezle06_southside exists, I know that for a fact. Did I mess something up?

I always use this and it seems to do the trick!

$server = "localhost";	
$database = "your_database";
$db_user = "your_username";
$db_pass = "your_password";
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "$db_user", "$db_pass");
mysql_select_db("$database", $link);

Was this of any use?
