Oh yeah, I see what you mean now...

Like this..

$connection = mysqli_connect( 'host', 'username', 'password'); or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

ok, I got you. Thanks Dave

##The full replacement would be:

$connection = mysqli_connect( 'host', 'username', 'password'); or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

mysqli_select_db( $link, $database) or die("Could not select forum database");
}
