mysql_list_dbs

(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1)

mysql_list_dbs --  List databases available on a MySQL server

Description

resource mysql_list_dbs ([resource link_identifier])

mysql_list_dbs() will return a result pointer containing the databases available from the current mysql daemon. Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer.

Example 1. mysql_list_dbs() example


$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'myname', 'secret');
$db_list = mysql_list_dbs($link);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($db_list)) {
  echo $row->Database . "\n";
}

The above example would produce the following output: 


database1
database2
database3
...

Note: The above code would just as easily work with mysql_fetch_row() or other similar functions.

For downward compatibility mysql_listdbs() can also be used.
