Upgraded database and now can't connect

| Hi guys
I am a bit of a newcomer at this php and mysql - however I been following a
self teach book taht uses MySQL 4.0.21 and PHP 5.0.2. After working through
some examples I had to reformat my machine and took the opportunity to
upgrade to MySQL 5.0.16. and now my php scripts don't connect i.e if I use
the line
if ($dbc = @mysql_connect ('localhost','freddie','1234') ....nothing
happens.
Have I missed something when I re-installed MySQL
Thanks
Tony

You need to use mysqli instead:

"@" ignores error messages. You don't want to do that.

| wasn't that a PHP beta? I can't remember. try upgrading to 5.1.2. with
newer PHP probably comes newer db client-ware libraries.
when I upgraded my database, sqlyog 3.0 client would no longer connect.
neither would the query browser(I think). so I had to upgrade the query
browser and administrator tool. everything worked except sqlyog, which cost
money to upgrade.
