My remote database access works with Sequel Ace and MySQL
Workbench but not php

My connection script contains the exact same data.

I’ve searched everywhere for a solution.

Any idea why?

Thanks.
Robert

    <?php 
    $servername = '173.231.242.82';
    $username='username';
    $password = 'password';
    //$dbname = "birdbr7_Subscription";

    $conn = new mysqli("173.231.242.82", $username,     $password);
    //$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password,  $dbname);

    // Check connection 
    
    
    if ($conn) { 
      die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    } else{
      echo "Connected successfully";
    } 
    ?>
