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. <--> Jay > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Nicholson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Jason Martyn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2003 5:51 PM > Subject: Re: [PHP] Setting total db size to a variable. > > > Hello, > > This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Sun, 20 Jul 2003 at > 00:42, lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you. > > I have a question in regards to finding the total db size and > setting > > it to a variable. > > How would I go about this? > > 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; > > -- > phpmachine :: The quick and easy to use service providing you with > professionally developed PHP scripts :: http://www.phpmachine.com/ > > Professional Web Development by David Nicholson > http://www.djnicholson.com/ > > QuizSender.com - How well do your friends actually know you? > http://www.quizsender.com/ > (developed entirely in PHP) > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
