Hi,

Did you try passing in the port without the single quotes? e.g. $db = $db = new 
mysqli('localhost','root','','webvulscan',3308);

Other than that, I am not sure what the problem is. Your best option would 
probably be to capture the error code using mysqli_connect_errno() and check 
what the error is.

Just did a bit of googling and found this on the mysqli API page on php.net: 
"If $port is a string, such as '3306', mysqli::query() will not work, even 
though mysqli_connect_errno() reports no error (value 0)!". Therefore, passing 
the port in as an integer will hopefully resolve the issue.

The following is from the ReadMe file included in the downloadable source:

Import the database named “webvulscan.sql”, which is contained in the 
source code folder into your MySQL database.
The database credentials that the scanner is using are the “root” user with 
no password. If you want to change this it can be edited in 
“webvulscan_vx.xx/scanner/functions/databaseFunctions.php” in the 
connectToDb() function. The second and third parameter passed into the mysqli 
constructor are the username and password of a MySQL database user.  e.g. 
“root” and “”.
For whatever user you are using in the connectToDb() function, you must ensure 
there is a corresponding database user in the database and they have sufficient 
privileges to read/write from/to the webvulscan database.
