mysql_list_dbs

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)

mysql_list_dbs — List databases available on a MySQL server

Description

resource mysql_list_dbs ( [resource $link_identifier] )

Returns a result pointer containing the databases available from the current mysql daemon.

Parameters

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 a result pointer resource on success, or FALSE on failure. Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().

Examples

Example 1405. mysql_list_dbs() example


<?php

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');

$db_list = mysql_list_dbs($link);



while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($db_list)) {

     echo $row->Database . "\n";

}

?>

The above example will output something similar to:


database1
database2
database3
