Another way to check if a table exists:
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE '".$table."'"))==1) echo "Table exists";
else echo "Table does not exist";
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
mysql_tablename — Get table name of field
Esta extensão tornou-se defasada a partir do PHP 5.5.0 e foi removida no PHP 7.0.0. Em vez disso, as extensões MySQLi ou PDO_MySQL devem ser usadas. Veja também o guia MySQL: escolhendo uma API. Alternativas a esta função incluem:
SHOW TABLES
Retrieves the table name from a result
.
This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use
mysql_query() to issue an SQL SHOW TABLES
[FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern']
statement instead.
result
A result pointer resource that's returned from mysql_list_tables().
i
The integer index (row/table number)
The name of the table on success ou false
em caso de falha.
Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().
Exemplo #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);
?>
Nota:
The mysql_num_rows() function may be used to determine the number of tables in the result pointer.
Another way to check if a table exists:
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE '".$table."'"))==1) echo "Table exists";
else echo "Table does not exist";
A simple function to check for the existance of a table:
function TableExists($tablename, $db) {
// Get a list of tables contained within the database.
$result = mysql_list_tables($db);
$rcount = mysql_num_rows($result);
// Check each in list for a match.
for ($i=0;$i<$rcount;$i++) {
if (mysql_tablename($result, $i)==$tablename) return true;
}
return false;
}
