There seems to be character limits that only apply to mssql_select_db
where the database has a fairly long name like
'FISH_STURGEON_GUPPIES_ACTIVATION' is cut down to
'FISH_STURGEON_GUPPIES_ACTIVATI' and of course fails WITH THE FOLLOWING
ERROR:
Warning: mssql_select_db() [function.mssql-select-db]: message: Could
not locate entry in sysdatabases for database
'FISH_STURGEON_GUPPIES_ACTIVATI'. No entry found with that name. Make
sure that the name is entered correctly. (severity 16) in q88c.php on
line 24

Warning: mssql_select_db() [function.mssql-select-db]: Unable to select
database: FISH_STURGEON_GUPPIES_ACTIVATI in q88c.php on line 24

I tried concatenation but got the same problem. Unfortunately, I don't
have the option of changing the name. And other long lines seem to pass
without problems.

Many thanks in advance!
