Here's simple connect to database function;

function connect_db () {
global $dbhost;
global $dbuser;
global $dbpass;
global $dbname;
mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)
or die("Unable to connect to database!");
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Could not select database.");
}

$dbhost: SQL hostname (Generally LOCALHOST)
$dbuser: SQL username
$dbpass: SQL password
$dbname: database name to connect to

function connect_db () {
global $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname;
mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)
or die("Unable to connect to database!");
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Could not select database.");
}

One "global" is enough :)
