It may be having a problem because you are not specifying which connection
to use.
perhaps try something like this:
if(!$db = @mysql_connect("$dbhost", "$dbuser", "$dbpasswd"))
die("An Error Occured. Unable to connect to the database.");
if(!@mysql_select_db("$dbname",$db))
die("An Error Occured. Unable to find the database $dbname on the
MySQL server.");
Hope that helps.
