av u creatd ur tables?

yes ma'am, i have done all that

the problem now is that my php code does not connect to database. i've tried all the possible codes out there

You cannot run a php file using the 'file' protocol. In other words, your address bar should contain something like http://localhost/my_hobby_app/index.php

The address in your browser indicates that the folder containing the index.php file contains spaces in its name. I suggest you remove the spaces.

for quick testing , you can create a server and listen at a port of your choice ,

STEPS:

1.open your terminal for mac or command prompt for windows

2. change to the directory of where you files are by typing " cd foldername" , foldername here points to your working directory or folder

3.to create a server , type php -S localhost:9987

4. run your scripts by visiting localhost:9987

<?php
$host= 'localhost';
$user= 'root';
$pass= '';
$db="testdb";

$con= mysqli_connect($host,$user,$pass,$db) or die('cannot connect '. mysqli_error());
mysqli_close($con);
?>

Kindly use Google next time. And set up your xampp/wampserver. Copy and pasting codes isn't the right thing to do,obviously, you won't learn a thing like that.
