Example 1: php sql connection

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$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());

  echo "<b>Failed to connect to MySQL: </b>" . $mysqli->connect_error;
}

// Query
$selectQuery = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT * FROM my_table");
$selectQuery->execute();
$selectQueryResult = $selectQuery->get_result();

// Loop 
while($selectQueryRow = $selectQueryResult->fetch_array()) {
  echo $selectQueryRow['my_column'];
