Following are the steps to connect database with PHP.
- Create MySQL database at the localhost.
- Create a folder in htdocs.
- Create Database Connection File in PHP.

- Run the file.
Lets's create a new PHP file and sabe it with the name db_connection.php.
Now, write the following code in db_connection.php file
<?php
function OpenCon()
{
$dbhost="localhost";
$dbuser="root";
$dbpass="";
$db="example";
$conn=new mysqli($dbhost,$dbpass,$db) or die("Connection Failed:%s\n".conn->error);
return $conn;
}
function CloseCon($conn)
{
$conn->close();
}
This code will connect to database.
