mysql_list_tables List tables in a MySQL database resourcemysql_list_tables stringdatabase resource link_identifier mysql_list_tables takes a database name and returns a result pointer much like the mysql_query function. You can use the mysql_tablename function to extract the actual table names from the result pointer, or any other result table function such as mysql_fetch_assoc. The database parameter is the name of the database to retrieve the list of tables from. Upon failure, mysql_list_tables returns &false;. For downward compatibility, the function alias named mysql_listtables can be used. This is deprecated however and is not recommended. ]]> See also: mysql_list_dbs, and mysql_tablename.
