I’m using a Mac Book Pro with big sur os. I’m using MySQL as my database service and XAMPP as my local host. Below is how I tried to establish the database connection using php.
<?php
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$host = "localhost";
$database = "mydb";
$port = "3306";
$conn = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $database, $port);
if($conn){
echo "Connected Suuccessfuly";
return var_dump($conn);
}else{
echo "Error";
}
?>
However it comes up with an error as shown below.
Any solutions? A help would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
