无法使用MySQLi_connect连接到MySQL

Question

I am trying to fetch results using ajax,php and MySql. However I am getting following errors on my server side script.

Warning: mysqli_select_db() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, resource given in D:\htdocs\classes\xxx on line 10

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

The server side code is as follows:

<?php
$q = intval($_GET['q']);

$con= mysqli_connect("localhost","root","abcd123") or die ("could not connect to mysql"); 

mysqli_select_db($con,"payrolldb001") or die ("no database"); 

$sql="SELECT substationid,substationcode FROM wms_substation WHERE assemblylineid = '".$q."'";

$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);


echo "<select>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "here";
  echo "<option>". $row['substationcode'] . "</option>";
  }
echo "</select>";

mysqli_close($con);
?>

I can not figure out where am i going wrong.Please help.

Try this,

$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","abcd123","payrolldb001") or die("Error " . mysqli_error($con));
$sql="SELECT substationid,substationcode FROM wms_substation WHERE assemblylineid = '".$q."'";

$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
...

Or

$con= mysqli_connect("localhost","root","abcd123") or die ("could not connect to mysql"); 

mysqli_select_db($con,"payrolldb001") or die ("no database"); 

Read mysqli_select_db
