Description
bool
mysql_create_db ( string database_name [, resource link_identifier])
mysql_create_db() attempts to create a new database on the server associated with the specified link identifier.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example 1. MySQL create database example <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); }
if (mysql_create_db('my_db')) { echo "Database created successfully\n"; } else { echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "\n"; } ?> |
|
For downwards compatibility mysql_createdb() can also be used. This is deprecated, however.
Note: The function mysql_create_db() is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a SQL CREATE DATABASE Statement instead.
| Warning |
This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library. |
See also mysql_query().
