    hey, try and remove the "i" from the mysql_connect syntax. mysqli is a different db i think

    failing that

    here's the function i use, hasn't failed me yet

    when you go to make a query, just say

    dbConnect();

    in your php syntax, and you should be good to go.

    $dbhost = "supercoolserver";
    $dbuser = "supercooluser";
    $dbpass = "supercoolpassword";

    function dbConnect() {
       global $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass;
           $dbcnx = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)
           or die("The site database appears to be down.");
     
       return $dbcnx;
    }


    you don't necessarilty need to specify a database, but in your query just add it, so if your "schema" is called "data" then your query will be

    "INSERT INTO data.mail VALUES ('$textname', '$textnumber',' $textemail_add', '$textsubject', '$textcomment' );"
