Drop MySQL Database
Drop Database using PHP Script
PHP uses mysql_query function to create or delete a MySQL database. This function takes two parameters and returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example
Try the following example to delete a database −
<html>
<head>
<title>Deleting MySQL Database</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost:3036';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'rootpassword';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
if(! $conn ) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully<br />';
$sql = 'DROP DATABASE TUTORIALS';
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval ) {
die('Could not delete database: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Database TUTORIALS deleted successfully\n";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
</body>
</html>
WARNING − While deleting a database using the PHP script, it does not prompt you for any confirmation. So be careful while deleting a MySQL database.
