The first step is to create a database and then we can create tables in that database which we can use in our application.
To create a database in MySQL the CREATE DATABASE statement is used.
Syntax
-
CREATE DATABASE database_name
The above statement runs in a querry analyzer. A querry analyzer is an interface to run database commands. But you can run this stament directly from PHP by using the mysql_query() function. This function is used to send a query or command to a MySQL connection.
The following example creates a database called “my_db”:
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect(“localhost”,”tutor”,”tutor123″);
if (!$conn)
{
die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error());
}
if (mysql_query(“CREATE DATABASE my_db”,$conn))
{
echo “Database creation:Successful”;
}
else
{
echo “Database creation:Unsuccessful: ” . mysql_error();
}
mysql_close($conn);
?>
