Is there a reason you're using define database connections when the database is defined inside the $vbulletin class?
Your use of the OR operator is also incorrect.

Try checking their use at php.net

Thanks for replying.

The reason why I am defining the database connection info again is due to the fact the database is different to the one I use for vbulletin and which is obviously called from config.php. The server is the same (domain) but the connection info is different due to that factor.

Could you also define what you mean by the OR operator being incorrect? I assume you are referring to the "or die mysql_error()". It has always worked for me :s

Could anyone offer an explanation as to why the first conditional I tried didnt work fully?

Thanks to Lynne and Bellardia

EDIT: This still didnt fix my issue after using Lynne's code, but then I noticed there was a missing closing bracket. All is working as expected, thank you!
