“No database selected” error even after a db is selected

Question

I have selected the database but for some weird reason it still says that it is not selected.

Connection lines:

$location = \"localhost\";
$user = \"         


        

Answer 1

You forgot to pass the variable $link as the link parameter.

     mysql_select_db('database', $link) or die(mysql_error());

EDIT: Try passing the database in the FROM parameter like

     SELECT * FROM `database`.`table`
