This is my first project. Just a simple registration form. it will connect to the server but I can't convince it to select the the database 'learnphp'.

 

<?php
if($_POST['formSubmit'] == "Submit") 
    {
if(empty($_POST['formName'])) 
        {
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your Name.</li>";
	}

if(empty($_POST['address'])) 
        {
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your address.</li>";
        }
        	
if(empty($_POST['city'])) 
        {
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your city.</li>";
	}
        	
if(empty($_POST['state'])) 
        {
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your state.</li>";
	}

if(empty($_POST['zip'])) 
	{
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your zip code.</li>";
	}

if(empty($_POST['phone'])) 
        {
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your phone number.</li>";
	}

    if(empty($_POST['email'])) 
        {
		$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter your email.</li>";
	}
        	
        }


$varformName = $_POST['formName'];
$varaddress = $_POST['address'];
$varcity = $_POST['city'];
$varstate = $_POST['state'];
$varzip = $_POST['zip'];
$varphone = $_POST['phone'];
$varemail = $_POST['email'];




        
        
//generated by fatcow	


$link = mysql_connect('', '', ''); 
if (!$link) { 
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); 
   }  
echo 'Connected successfully'; 
$db_selected = mysql_select_db("learnphp"); 

   if (!$mysql_select_db) { 
    die(' blast!' . mysql_error()); 
   }
       if(!empty($errorMessage))	 {
   echo("<p>There was an error with your form:</p>\n");
   echo("<ul>" . $errorMessage . "</ul>\n");
 }
     


		$sql = "INSERT INTO membership (memberName, address, city, state, zip, phone, email) VALUES (".
						PrepSQL($varmemberName) . ", " .
						PrepSQL($varAddress) . ", " .
						PrepSQL($varCity) . ",";
						PrepSQL($varState) . ",";
						PrepSQL($varZip) . ",";
						PrepSQL($varPhone) . ",";
						PrepSQL($varEmail) . ",";
		mysql_query($sql);

		//header("Location: thankyou.html");
		exit();



            
    // function: PrepSQL()
    // use stripslashes and mysql_real_escape_string PHP functions
    // to sanitize a string for use in an SQL query
    //
    // also puts single quotes around the string
    //
    function PrepSQL($value)
    {
        // Stripslashes
        if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) 
        {
            $value = stripslashes($value);
        }

        // Quote
        $value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";

        return($value);
    }
   
?>
