Hi this is my code

<?php

try {
    $db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost; dbname=shirts4mike; port=3306", "root", "root");
var_dump($db);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Could not connect to the database.";

}

echo "Woo-Hoo!";

And this is what i get when running localhost/database.php on my browser
