Connecting to Local Database

Hi everyone. I'm a bit confused as to how to use Visual Studio & PHP Tools to connect to a local MySQL database. At first I figured I'd need to set up a new database in PHPMyAdmin under localhost/phpmyadmin. But the code doesn't seem to be detecting my database. What am I overlooking? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

Thanks for the question.

Although not really related to PHP Tools I would like to help, but I can just guess - maybe firewall is blocking some ports even when it's installed locally? Try to turn it off completly for a while if that doesn't help.

Thanks,
