2 ways but I'm not sure if they both refer to the same type of SQL databases. The first one is:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$linkID = @mysql_connect($dbhost,$accountname,$password)
	or die("Could not connect to MySQL server");
@mysql_select_db($database) or die("Could not select database");
$linkID = @mysql_connect($dbhost,$accountname,$password)
	or die("Could not connect to MySQL server");
@mysql_select_db($database) or die("Could not select database");

And the second is MySQLI and I think might be as follows:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$linkID = @mysqli_connect($dbhost,$accountname,$password,$database)
	or die("Could not connect to MySQL server");
@mysqli_select_db($linkID,$database) or die("Could not select database");
$linkID = @mysqli_connect($dbhost,$accountname,$password,$database)
	or die("Could not connect to MySQL server");
@mysqli_select_db($linkID,$database) or die("Could not select database");

The first one i think is more common.
