Database names with '-' must also be enclosed in [].
eg. if $databaseName = "my-database" must be selected as:
mssql_select_db('['.$databaseName.']', $connection);
mssql_select_db

mssql_select_db — Select MS SQL database
Descrierea
mssql_select_db() sets the current active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier.
Every subsequent call to mssql_query() will be made on the active database.
Parametri
- database_name
-
The database name.
To escape the name of a database that contains spaces, hyphens ("-"), or any other exceptional characters, the database name must be enclosed in brackets, as is shown in the example, below. This technique must also be applied when selecting a database name that is also a reserved word (such as primary).
- link_identifier
-
A MS SQL link identifier, returned by mssql_connect() or mssql_pconnect().
If no link identifier is specified, the last opened link is assumed. If no link is open, the function will try to establish a link as if mssql_connect() was called, and use it.
Valorile întroarse
Întoarce valoarea TRUE în cazul succesului sau FALSE în cazul eşecului.

Use of square brackets to enclose the database name is also necessary if the name contains a dot: '.'
e.g.
mssql_select_db('Company.ERP');
Produces the error:
Warning: mssql_select_db(): Sybase: Server message: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Company'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. (severity 16, procedure N/A) in
mssql_select_db('[Company.ERP]');
Will select successfully

mssql_select_db() seems to truncate the databasename at the length of 30 characters. In my example the following error occured:
mssql_select_db("VeryLongDatabaseNameWhichIsReallyLong", $this->dbConn);
Warning: mssql_select_db(): message: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'VeryLongDatabaseNameWhichIsRea'. No entry found with that na
me. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. (severity 16) in...
A shorter databasename solved this issue.
