mysql_create_db

Description

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

Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

<?php
    $link = mysql_pconnect("kron", "jutta", "geheim")
        or exit("Could not connect");
    if (mysql_create_db("my_db")) {
        print ("Database created successfully\n");
    } else {
        printf ("Error creating database: %s\n", mysql_error ());
    }
?>

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