This question already has an answer here:
I have just installed MySQL and set up a server and a database. I have also created a table and insert data into it. Now I want to display this table on the web. I am planning to use this code https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp to connect it to the web, but I don't know where to place this file for it to work. Can anybody help me? I'm really new to PHP and I have googled but everyone is using PHPMyAdmin.

Your concern is:
I don't know where to place this file for it to work.
You can place the file along with other files of your webpages. You will just need to include_once or import the file where you want database connection.
This is how you can use this:
<?php
include_once 'path_to_the_file/connection.php' //connection.php is the name of file in which you have written code for connectivity
//Now you can do the rest database activity here after
?>
As you said:
I'm really new to PHP and I have googled but everyone is using PHPMyAdmin.
phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the web.
