Simple method to connect database using PHP.

 

 

$servername = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = ""; $dbname = "jjmtmain";

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} else {
    echo "Connected to database.";
} 

/* In further operations you can use the $conn object for the database connection. 

          For eg.

$q = mysqli_query($conn, "select * from user where email='$userid'");

$r = mysqli_fetch_array($q);

echo $name = $r['name'];
