It was a day saver for me! I tried 5-7 another PHP ways connect to the database on latest versions XAMPP Unsuccessfully. This video obviously showed the right way. Thank You very much.

Thanks for making this video. I just started fooling around with MySQL and was following another tutorial that didn't explain this part at all.

Thank you for this video! My course notes weren't complete for the starting part and connection. This video saved me from a lot of headaches. The start is definitely the most difficult part.

Very Helpful thank you! As someone who struggles with learning PHP I thought this was one the best videos I've seen in a while. If you haven't done so would you consider doing a beginner PHP / MySqL Tutorial Series for phpMyAdmin. Preferably focus on more the PHP aspect but general overview of the others would amazing also.
