mysql_list_tables
Retrieves a list of table names from a MySQL database.
This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query to issue an SQL SHOW TABLES [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern'] statement instead.
Parameters
- database
-
The name of the database
- link_identifier
The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect had been called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
Return Values
A result pointer resource on success or false on failure.
Use the mysql_tablename function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array.
Notes
Note:
For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_listtables
