$pw = ''; // Password (xampp = )
$dbname = 'database'; // The name of your database 
$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname";
$options = [PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8']; // If you want to use utf-8 use this line

$db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pw, $options); // Database Object
$db -> setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE, PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); // Use this if you want an associate array
// $db -> setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE, PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); Use this if you want an indexed array
