Link PHPMyAdmin MySQL databases to a PHP file - php

Question

I'm running into an issue while trying to link a MySQL database to a PHP file.
Im trying to setup this PHP login system from Github and currently I'm trying to setup the dbconf.php file. This is the code where I'm trying to link the database to.
<?php
//DATABASE CONNECTION VARIABLES
$host = "localhost"; // Host name
$username = "user"; // Mysql username
$password = "password"; // Mysql password
$db_name = "22445671_login"; // Database name
//DO NOT CHANGE BELOW THIS LINE UNLESS YOU CHANGE THE NAMES OF
THE MEMBERS AND LOGINATTEMPTS TABLES
$tbl_prefix = ""; //***PLANNED FEATURE, LEAVE VALUE BLANK FOR NOW***
Prefix for all database tables
$tbl_members = $tbl_prefix."members";
$tbl_attempts = $tbl_prefix."loginAttempts";
The MySQL Database is named 22445671_login
I am just looking for a way to link the MySQL database to my document
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
As put into my original question before it was removed. My website is hosted at at-space which comes with a PHPmyAdmin account linked to my website, I dont know how to link the MySQL database since I don't know if the username and password are just username and password. And I dont know if the host would be 1. My Website 2. atspace or 3. PHPMyAdmin

Answer 1

Where is your database hosted?
You might need to replace "localhost" with the hostname of your server:
$host = "localhost"; // Host name
Make sure you have the correct username and password
Make sure the user has the necessary permissions

Not sure if PMA has this feature, but SIDU has this feature:
<?php
$url = 'http://example.com/sidu54/conn.php'
.'?conn[host]='. $host
.'&conn[user]='. $username
.'&conn[pass]='. $password
// OR .'&conn[pass]='. $encryped_pass .'&conn[penc]=1'
.'&conn[dbs]='. $db_name
.'&conn[eng]=PDO_mysql'
.'&conn[char]=utf8'
.'&cmd=Connect'
.'&url=db.php'
.'&id=1,'. $db_name;
echo 'Click here to manage database';
