First, please don't post your actual username and password. I removed them for you.

You can probably tell b/c I changed your fourth parameter to $new_link that something's wrong there, and you'd be right. That's supposed to be a boolean value (see the documentation here PHP: mysql_connect - Manual ).

To connect to a database, use the sample code shown below:

mysql_connect('localhost''mysql_user''mysql_password');
if (!
$link) {
    die(
'Not connected : ' mysql_error());
}

// make foo the current db
$db_selected mysql_select_db('foo'$link);
if (!
$db_selected) {
    die (
'Can\'t use foo : ' mysql_error());
}
?>
The only other thing I see is the missing semicolon on the last line. It should be
PHP Code:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO hoursworked (firstname, mon, tue)
VALUES ('mike', '6 hours', '4 hours')"
);
