Database Connection Using Php
$connection = mysqli_connect(“database-hostname”,”database-username”,”database-password”,”database name”);
//Error checking
if (!$connection) {
die(‘Connection Error: ‘ . mysqli_connect_error());
}
Where $connection is the link identifier .
For example if you are running the program on your local machine then hostname =”localhost’ ,username =”root” and password =”” .
If you are running the code on your development/live server then you can get the hostname from phpmyadmin and username and password from cpanel mysql database wizard.
