Cannot connect to the database

[ZeroHero]

Hello, i'm new and trying to learn how to connect phpmyadmin databases with my phpcode written in another program. As my video is showing i'm having some difficulties connecting to the database using the code on line 8. I've tried many different variations of code, none of them works. So in my desperate attempt for solving this matter I've reached out to this forum. Hope it helps. Thanks.

This manual definately *must* get your most important documentation for learning PHP. it is your PHP BIBLE. Always look into this manual, it does not only explain how it all works, there are also tons of usefull examples and code snippets.
