What are the common challenges when connecting a PHP web server on a Raspberry Pi to a Phpmyadmin database on the same Raspberry Pi?

One common challenge when connecting a PHP web server on a Raspberry Pi to a Phpmyadmin database on the same Raspberry Pi is ensuring that the database credentials in the PHP code match the credentials set in Phpmyadmin. To solve this, make sure to check the database username, password, and host settings in both Phpmyadmin and the PHP code. 

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database_name";

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

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