mysql_drop_db

Synopsis

boolean mysql_drop_db(string database [, cresource connection])

Drops a database. An optional connection can be supplied; otherwise, the most recently opened connection resource handle that is still open is used. This function permanently deletes the database, its tables, and its data.

The function returns true on success and false on failure.

Example

<?php
  $connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "fred", "shhh");
  
  if (mysql_drop_db("temp", $connection)) 
     echo "Dropped database 'temp'";
  else
     echo "Drop database 'temp' failed!";
?>
