Consider the following code:

<?php

$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('database', $conn);

?>

This works as expected, but how does PHP know what database connection to use when calling mysql_select_db() in the following example?

<?php

mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('database');

?>
