I wouldn't have thought PHP version should matter in this case - more
likely its a MySQL issue.
I would try checking the return value from mysql_select_db. If you get
false then that might indicate a permissions problem. e.g. with my host
when I create a MySQL user I then have to associate that user with any
database I want to use it with, as a seperate step - if thats not done
then even though I can connect fine, selecting a database will fail
until I associate the user...
