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.
Note:
The function mysql_create_db() is deprecated. It
is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a sql
CREATE DATABASE statement instead.
Example 1. mysql_create_db() alternative example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
echo "Database my_db created successfully\n";
} else {
echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
}
?>

For downwards compatibility mysql_createdb()
can also be used. This is deprecated, however.

if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.
