How can PHP developers ensure consistency in database names between SSH and PHP connections?

To ensure consistency in database names between SSH and PHP connections, PHP developers can create a configuration file where the database name is defined as a constant. This constant can then be used in both SSH and PHP connections to ensure that the same database name is always used. 

// Define the database name as a constant in a configuration file
define('DB_NAME', 'your_database_name');

// SSH connection
$ssh = ssh2_connect('your_host', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($ssh, 'your_ssh_username', 'your_ssh_password');
$stream = ssh2_exec($ssh, 'mysql -u your_db_username -p your_database_name');

// PHP connection
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=your_host;dbname=' . DB_NAME, 'your_db_username', 'your_db_password');
