$dbname = "my_database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check the connection.
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
// Perform a query on the database.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='john'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
// Process the results of the query.
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// Output data of each row.
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "ID: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["name"] . " - Email: " . $row["email"] . "<br>";
} else {
echo "No results found.";
// Close the connection.
$conn->close();
