mysql_create_db
Create a MySQL database
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
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_WARNINGlevel warning is generated.
Examples
Example 1418. 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
For downward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used:
This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.
