Can someone please have a look at this and fix the error. This is the error: No Database selected. I took signin.php from an online tutorial which might be outdated. It would help if someone told me if it would be ok to keep $server as localhost. Please remember that I'm new to programming and may make basic mistakes. This is connect.php: It works, I've tested it with signup.php
<?php
//connect.php
$server = 'localhost';
$username = 'xxx';
$password = 'xxx';
$database = 'xxx';
$mysqli = new mysqli("$server", "$username", "$password", "$database");
if(!mysqli_connect($server, $username, $password))
{
exit('Error: could not establish database connection');
}
?>
