How can one determine if a database is configured correctly when installing PHP scripts?

To determine if a database is configured correctly when installing PHP scripts, you can try connecting to the database using PHP code. This can be done by creating a connection object and attempting to connect to the database. If the connection is successful, then the database is configured correctly. If there are any errors or connection issues, then there may be an issue with the database configuration. 

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "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";
$conn->close();
?>
