mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
If you look at your XAMPP Control Panel, it's clearly stated that the port to the MySQL server is 3306
- you provided 3360
. The 3306
is default, and thus doesn't need to be specified. Even so, the 5th parameter of mysqli_connect()
is the port, which is where it should be specified.
You could just remove the port specification altogether, as you're using the default port, making it
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = '';
$db = 'test_db13';

You have entered wrong port number 3360 instead of 3306. You dont need to write database port number if you are using daefault (3306 in case of MySQL)
