I'm trying to make a salon reservation webpage, do I need an Index.html or should I only use php?

Some question has been on my mind since a while as I am creating some system to record orders during a weekend of the sportsclub (not sure how you call it in English but with the sportsclub we have a 2-day event where we serve food). Anyway, I connect to the database as you do here. And also for the login form for the users (the people taking the orders) I do more or less the same as you do later in this course.
Now I wonder, do you ever connect to the database with the specific user? Now we always connect with the root user and in fact we only check if the user logging in exists and uses the right password. But we never really connect to the database with that specific user, do we? Or do I misunderstand something?
Thanks for giving this you view if and when you have some time.
