The official documentation can be seen here.

What user and password in phpmyadmin will I use in cpanel?

This is my very first time uploading a website. now I’m having a problem with my hosting which is CPANEL.

I’m using the code 

<?php
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Manila");

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$db = "exampledb";


// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password,$db);

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

?>

for my database connection.

Now my problem is what code should I put in servername? instead of localhost?
and same to the username root and password?

    On the hosting site in cpanel they normally give you the server name that you can use, the password you will need to create a db user also on cpanel, this will be your user name and password.

    // localhost is fine or else you need to keep your server IP.you can find in cpanel.
$servername = "localhost";

// if you are using database in some other server you should provide IP
// you need to create a user with required privileges then need to provide username/password 
// root also fine but better create a user
$username = "root";
$password = "";

// Here you need to mention which DB you want use for your application.
$db = "exampledb";
