if its a new instalation or new upgrade for wampserver or xampp, You need to include your port into connection,

Because the default MySQL Port is 3306,

But mariadb comes as default on default (3306) port so, when you try to connect MySQL its redirecting to mariadb.

You need to correct your port it might be 3306 or 3307 or 3308 and use ip instead of localhost. your final codes:

$host = '127.0.0.1';
$db   = 'test';
$user = 'root';
$pass = '';
$port = '3308';
$charset = 'utf8mb4';

mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
try {
    $mysqli = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $port, $db);
    mysqli_set_charset($mysqli, $charset);
} catch (\mysqli_sql_exception $e) {
     throw new \mysqli_sql_exception($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode());
}
