php-awsHow can I use PHP PDO to connect to an AWS RDS database?

To connect to an AWS RDS database using PHP PDO, you need to have the following information:

1. The name of the database host
2. The port number
3. The database name
4. The username
5. The password

Once you have these details, you can use the following code to connect to the database:

<?php
$host = '<hostname>';
$port = '<port>';
$dbname = '<database name>';
$username = '<username>';
$password = '<password>';

$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;port=$port;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);

After executing this code, you should see a PDO object that represents the connection to the database.
