mysql_create_db
(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_create_db -- Create a MySQL database
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.
Parameters
- database_name
The name of the database being created.
-
link_identifier
The MySQL connection. If the
link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by
mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it
will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called
with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNING level warning is generated.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example 1. mysql_create_db() alternative example
The function mysql_create_db() is deprecated. It is
preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a sql
CREATE DATABASE statement instead.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
echo "Database my_db created successfully\n";
} else {
echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
}
?>
|
The above example will output
something similar to: Database my_db created successfully |
|
Notes
Note:
For downward compatibility, the following
deprecated alias may be used:
mysql_createdb()
Note:
This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built
against a MySQL 4.x client library.
