mysql_list_dbs

List databases available on a MySQL server (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
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, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().

Example 609. mysql_list_dbs() example

copy to clipboard
<?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 would produce the following output:

copy to clipboard
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. This is deprecated however.

See also mysql_db_name().
