title: Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user
body: <p>I'm new to PHP.
  Trying to connect MySQL with PHP. 
  I get this error: 
  Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'mike'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\Abyss Web Server\connect_db.php on line 5
  Access denied for user 'mike'@'localhost' (using password: YES)</p>
  
  <p>What's wrong with my connection script?
      
  
  <pre><code>#set encoding to match PHP script encoding
  mysqli_set_charset($dbc,'utf8');
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
