A database in a MySQL server is a logical container used to group tables and other data objects together as a unit. If you are a the administrator of the server, you can create and delete databases using the CREATE/DROP DATABASE statements. The following PHP script shows you how to create and drop an database called "fyi":
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost');
$sql = 'CREATE DATABASE fyi';
if (mysql_query($sql, $con)) {
print("Database fyi created.\n");
} else {
print("Database creation failed.\n");
}
$sql = 'DROP DATABASE fyi';
if (mysql_query($sql, $con)) {
print("Database fyi dropped.\n");
} else {
print("Database drop failed.\n");
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
If you run this script, you will get something like this:
Database fyi created. Database fyi dropped.
