I'm trying to learn php but when I attempt to connect to a mysql database, I get this error. I don't think anything is wrong with the code itself but perhaps there is an error on the hosts side? I'm using 000webhost so.
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'a7976620_db1user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/a7976620/public_html/index.php on line 17
Here is my php:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "a7976620_db1user";
$password = "******";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
