function db_connect() {
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password", );
if(!mysql_select_db("database"))
   {
      return false;
   } else {
      return $connect;
   }
}

just use this simple code:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to Database";
?>
