                                mysql_create_db

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   mysql_create_db -- Create a MySQL database

Description

   bool mysql_create_db ( string database_name [, resource
   link_identifier])

   mysql_create_db() attempts to create a new database on the server
   associated with the specified link identifier.

   Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

   Example 1. MySQL create database example
   <?php
       $link = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "mysql_user",
   "mysql_password")
           or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
       if (mysql_create_db("my_db")) {
           echo "Database created successfully\n";
       } else {
           echo "Error creating database: " . mysql_error() . "\n";
       }
   ?>

   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().
