Description
bool
mysql_drop_db ( string database_name [, resource link_identifier] )
mysql_drop_db() attempts to drop (remove) an
entire database from the server associated with the specified
link identifier.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
For downward compatibility mysql_dropdb()
can also be used. This is also deprecated, however.

The function mysql_drop_db() is deprecated. It is
preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a sql
DROP DATABASE statement instead.
