What could be causing the error message "MySQL meldet: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1" when trying to create a new database in PHPMyAdmin?

The error message "MySQL meldet: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1" typically indicates a syntax error in the SQL query used to create the new database in PHPMyAdmin. This could be due to missing or incorrect syntax elements in the query. To solve this issue, make sure that the SQL query is properly formatted and all necessary elements are included. 

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

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

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

// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE mydatabase";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error creating database: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>
