The method for establishing a connection to your website's database using PHP is to use the mysqli or PDO extension. Here are the steps to connect to the database:
Example code for connecting using mysqli:
$host = "localhost";
$user = "username";
$password = "password";
$database = "dbname";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($host, $user, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
Example code for connecting using PDO:
$host = "localhost";
$user = "username";
$password = "password";
$database = "dbname";
// Set DSN
$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$database";
// Create a PDO instance
$conn = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
// Set PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
