I think it has to do with your PHP version. Try using mysqli_select_db() and mysqli_query().

I think it should be

PHP

echo $db = mysqli_select_db($dbSelect) or die('Database Not Selected');

you connected to the database using mysqli_connect so try selecting using mysqli_select_db too. and better still specify the database your and connecting to in the mysqli_select_db if you have more than one connected database

PHP

echo $db = mysqli_select_db($dbc, $dbSelect) or die('Database Not Selected');

and to remove the database selection part just use

PHP

echo $query = "INSERT INTO enquiryform.gcmas (Name, EmailID, Phone, Message) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$phone', '$message');";

while you remove the mysql_select_db part
