# mysql_list_dbs

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

mysql_list_dbs -- List databases available on a MySQL server

## Description

resource mysql_list_dbs ( [resource link_identifier])

mysql_list_dbs() will return a result pointer containing the databases available from the current mysql daemon. Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables.

Example 1. mysql_list_dbs() example

    <?php
    $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
    $db_list = mysql_list_dbs($link);

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($db_list)) {
        echo $row->Database . "\n";
    }
    ?>

The above example would produce the following output:

    database1
    database2
    database3
    ...

> Note: The above code would just as easily work with mysql_fetch_row() or other similar functions.

For downward compatibility mysql_listdbs() can also be used. This is deprecated however.

See also mysql_db_name().
