# mysql_drop_db

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

mysql_drop_db -- Drop (delete) a MySQL database

## Description

bool mysql_drop_db ( string database_name [, resource link_identifier])

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

mysql_drop_db() attempts to drop (remove) an entire database from the server associated with the specified link identifier.

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

> Note: The function mysql_drop_db() is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a SQL DROP DATABASE statement instead.
