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().
