How can a user create a database directly from the MySQL client as a troubleshooting step for issues with PHPMyAdmin?

If a user is experiencing issues with PHPMyAdmin, they can troubleshoot by creating a database directly from the MySQL client. This can help determine if the problem lies with PHPMyAdmin or the database itself. To create a database using the MySQL client, the user can connect to the MySQL server and execute a SQL command to create a new database. 

<?php

// Connect to MySQL server
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

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

// Create a new database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE new_database";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error creating database: " . $conn->error;
}

// Close connection
$conn->close();

?>
