Finally I found some time to program my own website. The problem is, that it doesn't recognise the table that I'm giving him. I'm writing a guestbook based on SQL. It's logging into the SQL-platform, but simply doesn't get the database ... The name that I'm giving him is 100% spelled correctly! I've tried not to use the `$mysql_select_db` in my script, but naming the database in the "Select"-Statement & "Insert"-Statement. Doesn't work either >.<

Here're my scripts:

addguestbook.php

```
<?php

$db_name="mywebsite";               // Database name
//********************Tables***************************//
$tbl_name="guestbook";              // Guestbook

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){

    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $website = $_POST['website'];
    $comment = $_POST['comment'];
    $datetime=date("y-m-d h:i:s"); //date time

    // Connect to server and select database.
    mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect server ");
    //mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

    $sql="INSERT INTO $db_name.$tbl_name(name, email, website, comment, datetime)VALUES('$name', '$email', '$website', '$comment', '$datetime')";
    $result=mysql_query($sql);

    mysql_close();
}
?>

edit: the errormessage:

I've even put some lines of data into the table manually, doesn't work either.
