I am using Hostgator to create a simple website where the user can upload pictures online. The HTML and CSS code works fine however the server connection failed.

<?php

$servername = "localhost:3306";
$username = "brazen_test_gallary";
$password = "1234";
$dbname = "brazen_galleryexample";


$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

After I refresh my page, I get the following errors:

Warning : mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:3306' (0)

Have you tried providing the servername without the port (just 'localhost')? – Ste Bächler Jan 07 '20 at 19:37

Remove the `:3306` – upss1988 Jan 07 '20 at 19:39
@alexherm I can't see how [your edit](https://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/25033378) helped. Errors should not be indented. It should have been left alone. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 07 '20 at 19:42
That ^ would be a new question. What you posted in comments does not support the original question. Edit: You deleted the comment I responded to, in regards to the new error and code not included for it. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 07 '20 at 19:52
