I have researched this and can't find an answer. Maybe I am just looking
in the wrong places or not putting the correct keywords into the search
engines. So any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using MySQL with PHP.
I have some PHP scripts that create tables in a database that are meant to
be temporary but can't actually create "TEMPORARY" tables to do the
job. That isn't the problem in itself. The problem is that sometimes if
the script is stopped prematurely, it doesn't get to the drop table
function in it. All of the tables that are created for this start with an
"a" and follow with a random number. What I need to do is to create a
script that I can run that will delete all tables that start with an "a" in
the database. Again, since the table name is randomly generated except for
the starting "a", I will need the script to find them and drop them.
Has anybody done this before? I would sure appreciate some help here.
Thanks
Steve
