The mistake is in your select database line, you did mix it with mysql_*
when you should use mysqli_*
Your should use mysqli_select_db
for selecting database using mysqli_*
extension.
Your final code would be something like this:
$connect = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);
mysqli_select_db($connect, $dbname);
