$server = 'localhost';

$dbname = 'MyDatabase';
$con = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass) or die("Can't connect");
mysql_select_db($dbname);

Answer 3

This is a simple connect to the mysql server. After Connecting to the server it selects a DB

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "admin", "1admin") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";
mysql_select_db("test") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to Database";
?>
