Can't connect to my DB

[snagglebutt]

For some reason, I'm getting the error that I can't connect to my DB. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas?

<?PHP
error_reporting(7);

#----------
# Validate: String

function check_string($value, $low, $high, $mode, $optional)
{
if ( (strlen($value) == 0) && ($optional === true) ) {
return true;
} elseif ( (strlen($value) >= $low) && ($mode == 1) ) {
return true;
} elseif ( (strlen($value) <= $high) && ($mode == 2) ) {
return true;
} elseif ( (strlen($value) >= $low) && (strlen($value) <= $high) && ($mode == 3) ) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
#----------
# Validate: Email

function check_email($email, $optional)
{
if ( (strlen($email) == 0) && ($optional === true) ) {
return true;
} elseif ( eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $email) ) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

# RegisterGlobals OFF

$FTGFirstName = $_POST['FirstName'];
$FTGEmailAddress = $_POST['EmailAddress'];
$FTGSubmit = $_POST['Submit'];

# Fields Validations

$validationFailed = false;

if ( (! check_string($FTGFirstName, 1, 0, 1, false))) {
$validationFailed = true;
}

if ( (! check_email($FTGEmailAddress, false))) {
$validationFailed = true;
}

# Redirect user to the error page

if ($validationFailed == true) {

header("Location: form1.html");
exit;

}

# Dump field values to a MySQL table

$DBhost = "localhost";
$DBuser = "******";
$DBpass = "******";
$DBName = "ZKCemails";
$table = "Over13";
mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die("Unable to connect to database");

@mysql_select_db("$DBName") or die("Unable to select
database $DBName");

$sqlquery = "INSERT INTO $table
VALUES('$FirstName','$EmailAddress')";

$results = mysql_query($sqlquery);

mysql_close();

# End of PHP script
?>

this is a php question, fyi.

change your dies to:

or die ("Unable to connect: ".mysql_error()); 

this will tell you why you can't connect.
