Trying to input text into database

Website Building

ello,
I’m trying to just get my db running by imputing some simple info, firstname and lastname.
I keep getting the error:

Connected successfullyError: INSERT INTO nametable (firstname, lastname) VALUES(‘asdf’,‘fasd’)
Access denied for user ‘id1759438_gannon’@’%’ to database ‘information_schema’

Apparently the connection test is working.
Here is the code for insert.php (minus the password):

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "id1759438_gannon";
$dbname = "id1759438_testinputs";
$password = "**********";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";

//insert values
$sql="INSERT INTO nametable (firstname, lastname)
VALUES('$_POST[fname]','$_POST[lname]')";

//check if inserted
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "New record created successfully";
    } else {
        echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
    }
?>

Here is my index.php that passes the form text:

<h1>An example page to insert some data into MySQL database using PHP</h1>
<form action="insert.php" method="post">
Firstname: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br><br>
Lastname: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br><br>
<input type="submit" />
</form>

My db is all set with firstname and lastname as VARCHAR(20) and everything!
Please help! Thanks!

As it says your accessing wrong database.

See PDO example

Declare username and database
