How can you establish a connection to a hosting server or myphpadmin using PHP?

To establish a connection to a hosting server or myphpadmin using PHP, you can use the mysqli_connect() function to connect to a MySQL database. You will need to provide the hostname, username, password, and database name as parameters to the function. Additionally, you can use the mysqli_select_db() function to select the database you want to work with. 

// Establish connection to the MySQL database
$host = 'localhost'; // hostname
$user = 'username'; // username
$password = 'password'; // password
$database = 'database_name'; // database name

$conn = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $database);

// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

// Select the database
mysqli_select_db($conn, $database);
