How can I connect to a MySQL database using PHP?

I need to establish a connection to a MySQL database from my PHP application, but I'm not sure how to do it. What's the best way to connect to a MySQL database using PHP? Are there any standard libraries or classes that I should be using for this purpose? Additionally, how can I handle errors and exceptions when connecting to the database?

Just use `mysql_connect()`, it's super easy!

No, `mysql_connect()` is deprecated. Use `mysqli_connect()` or PDO instead.

Or even better, use ORM libraries like Eloquent or Doctrine for database interactions!
