<para>
<function>mysql_list_dbs</function> will return a result pointer
containing the databases available from the current mysql
daemon. Use the <function>mysql_tablename</function> function to
traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables,
such as <function>mysql_fetch_array</function>.

<![CDATA[
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');

<para>
The above example would produce the following output:
<screen>
<![CDATA[
database1
database2
database3
...
]]>
</screen>

<note>
<para>
The above code would just as easily work with
<function>mysql_fetch_row</function> or other similar functions.
</para>
</note>
<para>
For downward compatibility <function>mysql_listdbs</function> can
also be used. This is deprecated however.
