how do i select a database?

[adan2do]

i am writing a webpage in mysql and php...
now, my problem is that i cant select the database that i have created...
here is my code:

$conection=MYSQL_CONNECT("localhost","lul_israeli","israeli")
or die ("ERROR while conecting...");

$bd=MYSQL_SELECT_DB("lul_elisraeli",$conection)
or die ("ERROR while selecting db...");

it gives me the error: ERROR while selecting db...why?
