php4/apache1.3.9/mysql win32 probs

i recently got (see topic) but for some reason i'm getting really weird error msgs for no apparent reason when trying to use the mysql support in php4.. here's the code that i believe is causing the problems

$email = addslashes($email);
mysql_connect("localhost","root","h3llish");
$res = mysql_db_query
Fatal error: Unable to open c:a÷ in Unknown on line 0
("homebox","select * from users where email="$email"");

and heres the error msg:
Fatal error: Unable to open c:a÷ in Unknown on line 0
if it helps at all, the url would've been http://localhost/signup.phtml and the file on my hd would be c:apachehtdocssignup.phtml

thanks in advance..

well, nevermind.. i downgraded to php3.0.11 and it seems to work fine now. sorry;/
