As we all know, PHP provides us with a function called mysql_query to delete an existing database.
To illustrate this, we will delete the database named "Tutorials" with the help of PHP script in the following example -
<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(! $retval ) {
die('Could not delete database: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Database TUTORIALS deleted successfully</p><p>";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
</body>
</html>The above is the detailed content of How can we delete MySQL database using PHP script?. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
