The part in red in the code below is not defined.



$db = mysql_select_db($dbName, $link);


You need to change that to:


$db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection);


That's it, hope this helps.

[boxxertrumps]

the $link variable isn't defined either. You were probably thinking $connection
Also, you just gave us your MySQL username and password...

Ah yes, looked right over that. Fixed now in my code above.
