Are there alternative solutions or workarounds for the problem described in the thread?

Issue: The problem described in the thread is that the PHP script is not able to connect to the MySQL database due to incorrect credentials or server configuration. Solution: To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the database credentials (hostname, username, password, database name) are correct and that the MySQL server is properly configured to allow remote connections. 

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "my_database";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
