You should follow the proper syntax:

$conn = mysqli_connect(<host Name>, <username>, <password>, <database name>);

Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php#refsect1-function.mysqli-connect-examples

Add two more parameters- username and password here:

$username = "root";  // Default values
$password = "";      // Default values

$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
