Please use the Improve question link above, and add complete details of the code that is not working.

Your question makes no sense: if it "has no problem", then it would be working. On the other hand, if it is "not working", then it clearly has a problem.

But since you've only shown a truncated part of the error message, and none of the relevant parts of your code, nobody can tell you what the problem is or how to fix it.

I feel like you want to make a simple db connection like this maybe it can help you just copy and past and change it to your own db name

PHP

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$db = "bestelapp"; // name of your own db

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

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