$mysql_user = "your_user";
$mysql_password = "your_password";
$mysql_database = "database_name";

$mysqli = new mysqli( $mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_password, $mysql_database );
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $mysqli->connect_errno . ") " . $mysqli->connect_error;
