"No database selected" error even after a db is selected

Question

I have selected the database but for some weird reason it still says that it is not selected.

Connection lines:

$location = "localhost";
$user = "user";
$pass = "pass";

//Database Selection
$link = mysql_connect($location, $user, $pass); 
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
//Database Selection
mysql_select_db('database') or die(mysql_error());

The Query:

while ($row_fpages = mysql_fetch_array($result_fanpage))
{
    if ( $row_fpages['client'] == NULL ) {

    //GRAPHS
    $sql = "SELECT date, likes FROM statistics_pages WHERE idnum='".$_COOKIE['id']."' AND page_name = ".$row_fpages['page_name']." LIMIT 7";
    $result_apps = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

And the error is a plain No database selected.

I have never seen this error before and i tried to change a lot of things but its just not working.

You forgot to pass the variable $link as the link parameter.

     mysql_select_db('database', $link) or die(mysql_error());

EDIT: Try passing the database in the FROM parameter like

     SELECT * FROM `database`.`table`
