i tried to make connection between Database and php :
<?php
$tf_host = 'localhost' ;
$tf_dbname = 'tinyforum' ;
$tf_username = 'root';
$tf_password = '' ;
$tf_handle = mysql_connect($tf_host , $tf_username , $tf_password);
if (!$tf_handle)
die('connection problem ..');
$tf_db_result = mysql_select_db($tf_dbname);
if($tf_db_result)
{
mysql_close($tf_handle);
die('selection problem');
}
die('OK');
mysql_close($tf_handle);

Unless you copied your code incorrectly, your check is not going to result in what you want.
$tf_db_result = mysql_select_db($tf_dbname);
if($tf_db_result)
your selection seems fine so either you should change your code to
if(!$tf_db_result) //note the !
or restructure your code
if($tf_db_result) {
//Do the stuff you want to do when you are connected
} else {
//Die connection
}
