<?php
   $link = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
       or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());

   if (mysql_create_db("my_db")) {

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_drop_db() and mysql_query().
