Can't select database [PHP/SQL]

[HappyMaskGuy]

Code: Select all

<?php
include(path)
$link=mysqli_connect($host,$username,$password);

@mysqli_select_db($database, $link) or die( "Unable to select database");

If I use Echo it reads the host, username, password and the word "stats" so the path is definitely correct.

Code: Select all

<?php
$host="(host)";
$username="(username)";
$password="(password)";
$database="stats";
?> 

I created the "stats" database in the website setting control panel. I used PHPMyAdmin to fill in a few test details.

Any idea why I keep getting the "unable to select database"? Feel like I'm forgetting something very basic.

You'd need to make sure to use the entire name of the database as it is displayed on your Databases tab.

The database would be something like this if you named it "stats":

"username_stats"

I have done that, just didn't want to post username here
