Have you tried to *read* and *understand* this error message? My guess
is no. The error message tells you all you need to know. You need to
pass a string as argument 4, but you aren't. <<db>> is a database
connection object, not a string. Change <<db>> to a string containing
the name of the MySQL database to which you want to connect.
