Please don’t create multiple topics on the same issue.

Please share your database connection code, be sure to hide your password.

@sobhan51

mysqli_connect(‘if0_36277689_pr…’,

The correct order of arguments for the function is mysqli_connect($hostname, $username, $password, $database). You put the database name first and the hostname last. If you put the arguments in the right order, it should work.

Because of course, you will not be able to connect to a host that has the database name as hostname.
