Example 2: connect html to mysql database
$con = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '',’db_connect’);
The “db_connect” is our database name that we created before.
After connection database you need to take post variable from the form. See the below code
$txtName = $_POST['txtName'];
$txtEmail = $_POST['txtEmail'];
$txtPhone = $_POST['txtPhone'];
$txtMessage = $_POST['txtMessage'];
