mysql server is reading wrong database !!

This is a really strange one.

I have been trying for a couple of hours to get a certain script running and it seems that the msql server is looking at the wrong data base.

This is my script:

<?php
ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);  

/*Database info*/
$username="eaaagt";
$password="password";
$database="gggwnet7y";
$host="localhost";

$fm_email = "paymaster@expert-world.net";
$fm_name = "Paymaster";

Mysql_close();

$today = date("U");

$connection = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password)  
or die ("Couldn't connect to server.". mysql_error());  

$db = mysql_select_db($database, $connection)
 or die ("Couldn't select the database.". mysql_error());  

 
$err = "error test $item_name";
$det = "error test detail: $mc_gross";

// Inform admin
$to = "dave.fethiye@gmail.com";
$contact = "David";
$subject = "1 PRODUCT ERROR: Modus:$modus";
$message_html = "Hi Dave<br>NO errors. Method: $modus <br> Database:$database ";
require('send_email.php');

// Record the Error
$err_str = "INSERT into data (method, req, response) VALUES ('$modus','$err','$det' )";
$result = mysql_query($err_str)
   or die("could not INSERT data.". mysql_error());  
?>

Now you can see that I actually email myself the database variable and this is what is emailed:

Hi Dave NO errors. Method:

Database:gggwnet7y

OK that is what we expect.

But the error I get from running this script is:

Warning: mysql_close(): no MySQL-Link resource supplied in /home/ew78gt/public_html/sys/ipn_test.php on line 31

could not INSERT data.Table 'guru777.data' doesn't exist

Now the warning is OK - I put that "close" there just to close any open connection.

Now when I get the mysql_error()); as part of the "die" because it is failing, Notice that the database is "guru777"

That database is not even used by this server - it is a database used by expert-world.com

The user , password and database that I specify at the top of the script are for expert-world.net. There should be no relationship at all.

So how is it failing to look at the database that I gave it ? The email proves what $database is set to ( ie gggwnet7y )

Any ideas how this can happen, and more importantly how I can fix it ?

Thanks
