This is my code.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername,
$username, $password);
// Check if connection is
// Successful or not
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: "
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
this is the result on the browser.
Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in C:xampphtdocsTestshat.php:8 Stack trace: #0 C:xampphtdocsTestshat.php(8): mysqli_connect(‘localhost’, ‘root’, Object(SensitiveParameterValue)) #1 {main} thrown in C:xampphtdocsTestshat.php on line 8 ?>
I tried putting the database into the code and it still produces the same error result. I also tried using the PDO version of the code from Geeksforgeeks instead of mysqli. Still did not work.
My current xampp setup is newly downloaded and I am using xampp windows 8.2.12.
I am trying to connect my database to my php file.
