$servername='localhost';
// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername='root';
$dbpassword='';
// name of database
$dbname='pegasus';

////////////// Do not  edit below/////////
$link=mysql_connect("$servername","$dbusername","$dbpassword");
if(!$link){
    die("Could not connect to MySQL");
    }
mysql_select_db("$dbname",$link) or die ("could not open db".mysql_error());

?>

The most up to date and best practice for using MySQL with PHP is the object-oriented solution. Here is an example:

define("HOST", "localhost");
define("USER", "username ");
define("PASS", "password");
define("DATABASE", "pegasus");

$mysqli = new mysqli(HOST, USER, PASS, DATABASE);
$q = "UPDATE products SET amount_sold = 6";
$mysqli->query($q);

Here is more info on this coding practice:
