Create a MySQL database from PHP

This example assumes you have MySQL and PHP correctly installed on your server . 

First well take a look at the code then we will explain it to you .

Code :

<?php
$result = mysql_create_db("mydb");
if ($result == false)
  echo ("failure to create database");
?>

This is quite simple we deal with the first line $result = mysql_create_db("mydb"); , this creates a database called mydb using the mysql_create_db function , this is stored in the variable $result .

The next lines

if ($result == false)
  echo ("failure to create database");

are used to display an error message if for some reason the database was not successfully created .
