Question

I am using the following script on a site and it works perfectly – following asking a questing on here. I have now tried to put this into another site and it is giving me the error Mysql error: No database selected any ideas? your help would be really appreciated I am quite new to this stuff. I know the script isn’t the best from a security stand point – I am working on this!

<?php 

 require_once('../Connections/BrightLights.php');

 //This is the directory where images will be saved 
 $target = "images/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); 

 //This gets all the other information from the form 
 $name=$_POST['name']; 
 $caption=$_POST['caption']; 
 $live=$_POST['live']; 
 $photo=($_FILES['photo']['name']); 




 //Writes the information to the database 
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO `gallery` VALUES ('', '$name', '$caption', '$photo', '$live')") ;  
    if( mysql_errno() != 0){
     // mysql error
     // note: message like this should never appear to user, should be only stored in log
     echo "Mysql error: " . htmlspecialchars( mysql_error());
     die();
}

 //Writes the photo to the server 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 { 

 //Tells you if its all ok 
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
 } 
 else { 

 //Gives and error if its not 
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 
 ?>

The “No database selected” error typically shows itself when you forgot to select a database with mysql_select_db() and called mysql_query()
