$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";

// Create connection
$conn= mysqli_connect($servername,$username,$password,$dbname);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
  die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());

Example 2: mysql connect php

# MySql improved
<?php
    $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "dbname");
	$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT lastname FROM employees");
?>
# Connection with PDO
<?php
    $myPDO = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dbname', 'username', 'password');
	$result = $myPDO->query("SELECT lastname FROM employees");
?>
# With PHP legacy functions:
<?php
    mysql_connect('localhost','username','password');
    mysql_select_db("dbname");
	$result = mysql_query('SELECT lastname FROM employees');
?>
