    function connect() {
        $con=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "forum");
        var_dump($con);
        // Check connection
        if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
            echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();

        } else {
            return $con;
        }
    }

    function renderContent($con) {
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM textforum";
        $result = $con->query($sql);




            // output data of each row

                echo $row["text"]. "
";



    }
