CPanel Database connection error
Question
I recently switched to CPanel, and ever since then, I've had issues. I'm having an issue connecting to a database. I created it in CPanel, with the hypothetical username 'root' and password '123' . I have a file /scripts/dbh.php and a file /index.php . Here are the contents.
dbh.php:
<?php
// Database Handler
$db_name = 'hughchalmers';
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "123";
$table_name = 'accounts';
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $db_name) or die('Cannot connect to database. Contact an admin');
?>
(hughchalmers is a database, accounts is a table)
index.php:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/memedictionary/scripts/header.php');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/memedictionary/scripts/dbh.php')
?>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
What's the issue here? It just dies with that message I set (Cannot connect to database. Contact an admin). Apologies, I'm very new to MySQL and CPanel

Check your last parameter for mysqli_connect(). Looks like you're referring to a table when instead it must be the database name or is it just a variable name but you're passing a database name actually?
