mysql_tablename

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_tablename -- Get table name of field

Description

string mysql_tablename ( resource result, int i )

Retrieves the table name from a result.

This function deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a SQL SHOW TABLES [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern'] statement instead.

Parameters

result: A result pointer resource that's returned from mysql_list_tables().
i: The integer index (row/table number)

Return Values

The name of the table on success, or FALSE on failure.

Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().

Examples

Example 1. mysql_tablename() example
<?php mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password"); $result = mysql_list_tables("mydb"); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); for ($i = 0; $i < $num_rows; $i++) { echo "Table: ", mysql_tablename($result, $i), "\n"; } mysql_free_result($result); ?>

Notes

Note: The mysql_num_rows() function may be used to determine the number of tables in the result pointer.
