title: How to connect to phpmyadmin database?
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a database in phpmyadmin. I'm new to the process and unsure how to connect to it.I'm using godaddy to host. I have this line of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$db = mysqli_connect("https://.....secureserver.net", "...", "....", "authenticationdb_");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I went to the table on phpmyadmin and copied the url, then copied the username (the first "...") and password (the second "...") that I used to login in to godaddy, and the name of the database is authenticationdb_.</p>
  
  <p>This is not working and I'm not sure why. I was unsure if the username and password were the ones that I used to login in to godaddy but I don't know what else they would be since i accessed phpmyadmin thru godaddy.</p>
