I have a MySQL database and I am trying to figure out how to access it with a php file. I keep getting an error, so I was wondering if that was because my hostname is incorrect. If so, could anyone help me identify exactly what it is? The database is hosted on this website: https://christopherliao2002.000webhostapp.com/.
Below is my HTML code.
<?php
//Step1
$db = mysqli_connect('localhost','***********','password','******')
or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.');
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>PHP connect to MySQL</h1>
<?php
//Variables
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "*****";
$password = "****";
$dbname = "******";
//Connection to database
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
//Test connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
</body>
</html>
