MySQLi Procedural procedure:
To close the connection in mysql database we use php function mysqli_close() which disconnect from database. It require a parameter which is a connection returned by the mysql_connect function.

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
  
// Creating connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);
  
// Checking connection
if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
  
// Creating a database named newDB
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE newDB";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
    echo "Database created successfully with the name newDB";
} else {
    echo "Error creating database: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
  
// closing connection
mysqli_close($conn);
  
?>
