Theory
php can be used to create a ecommerce or maybe a database,lets just say am using mysql for this (database), now i want to query for an item , i do need a connection to the database which i specified like
$conn = blah blah;
$db = more blah blanh;
$username = "crunchyDope";
$pwd = "blah blah";
and more blah blah...

The username and password you have up there is for data base user not the website user.


So if you want the website user to have user and password .that will be stored in your database table.
