Example: Issue: How can I connect to a MySQL database in PHP? Code snippet: 

```php
// Define database connection parameters
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database_name";

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

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