Answer 1

It's simple. If you have stopped the website and started it again, you must connect to the website URL from a browser, before you can use phpMyAdmin.

Answer 2

Check and follow below guidelines:

1.Locate your config.inc.php file which relates to PHPMyAdmin.

2.Locate the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] mostly this line might have been commented out by default, if so please uncomment it.

3.And replace that line with following:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';

4.Save it and restart the MySQL Database from your XAMPP control panel.

5.Change your $host parameter value in the mysqli_connect() method to following:

`$_connection = mysqli_connect(**"localhost: 3306"**, $_mysql_username, $_mysql_password, $_database);`

Note: This 3306 is my MySQL port number which is its default. You should better check what's your actual MySQL Port number before going to follow these steps.
