I am going to use mysql_query() and want to find out if a certain
database exists. If mysql_real_connect() fails there are many errors
that could account for this. The database may exist , and I cant take
the error returned from the failed query to mean the db isnt there and
should be created. So what sort of query can I use to see whether the db
exists? I thought of "USE myDb" but once again a failed mysql_query cant
rule out other factors that can cause the failure. Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
sb
