mysql_list_tables ( string database [, resource link_identifier] )
mysql_list_tables() takes a database name and returns a result pointer much like the mysql_query() function.
Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().
The database parameter is the name of the database to retrieve the list of tables from. Upon failure, mysql_list_tables() returns FALSE.
For downward compatibility, the function alias named mysql_listtables() can be used. This is deprecated however and is not recommended.
Note: The function mysql_list_tables() is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue
a SQL SHOW TABLES [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern'] statement instead.
Example 1. mysql_list_tables() example
<?php
$dbname = 'mysql_dbname';
if (!mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user',
'mysql_password')) {
echo 'Could not connect to mysql';
exit;
}
$result = mysql_list_tables($dbname);
if (!$result) {
echo "DB Error, could not list tables\n";
echo 'MySQL Error: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
echo "Table: $row[0]\n";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?> |
