Connect to a MySQL database with
mysqli_connect() — pass in the servername, username and password. On success it prints “Connected successfully”; on failure mysqli_connect_error() returns the error message. close() closes the connection.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
$conn->close();
?>output:
Connected successfully
