How to give database connection in PHP MySQL
How to give or make a database connection in PHP MySQL
In this post, you will be learning how to create or give a database connection in php mysql.
So guys, first you will have to create a database in phpMyAdmin (Server) and then get your hostname, database name, username and password.
But, If we are using in our system, xampp or wampp server, then by default it would be like: host="localhost", database_name="your_create_db", username="root" & password=" ". Example given below:
Example (MySQLi Object-Oriented)
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$username = "your_username";
$password = "your_password";
$database = "your_database_name";
// Create DB Connection
$conn = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error)
{
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Database Connected successfully";
?>
Example in (MySQLi Procedural)
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$username = "your_username";
$password = "your_password";
$database = "your_database_name";
// Create DB Connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($host, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
