How can access denied errors be resolved when trying to connect to a MySQL database in PHP?

Access denied errors when trying to connect to a MySQL database in PHP can be resolved by ensuring that the username, password, host, and database name in your connection code are correct. Make sure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the database. Additionally, check if the MySQL server is running and accessible from the host where your PHP code is running. 

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "your_username";
$password = "your_password";
$dbname = "your_database";

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

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