I have a question in regards to finding the total db size and setting it to a variable.

How would I go about this?

This is rather vague in several aspects. Please expand on your question
with more details, otherwise it makes it hard to help with with your
question.

For mysql this will do the trick...

$info = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(show table status from
$databasename  = '$tablename'));
$sizeinMB = $info[Data_length]/1024/1024;

  I have a question in regards to finding the total db size and setting it
to a variable.

 This is rather vague in several aspects. Please expand on your question
 with more details, otherwise it makes it hard to help with with your
 question.

I think he wants to get the size of a database, and setting that value to a
variable...
Probably the question is not regarding on how to set the value to a
variable, but on how to get the database size, which surelly depends on the
RDBMs you are using

(if it can be done, no idea..)  :oP

regards,

Juan

Fw: [PHP] Setting total db size to a variable.

2003-07-19 Thread Jason Martyn
 Theres a problem with the SQL query. It fails? I tried removing the  =
 '$tablename'  however, then the mysql_fetch_array cannot save the result
 set.

 I guess my basic question is how do I query the SHOW TABLE STATUS for a
 specific table in a specific database.

 -- Forgot to post this earlier --
 My apologies.

 There are 2 databases. The admin database and the registrant info database.
 I would like to be able to be able to calculate the size of the combined
 databases and use them as a statistic. In the first database there is 5
 tables, and in the other database there are 2 tables. I'm using MySQL V.
4.0
 and PHP V. 4.3.
