How can we delete an existing MySQL table by using PHP script?
As we know that PHP provides us the function named mysql_query to delete an existing MySQL table.
Example
To illustrate this we are deleting a table named ‘Tutorials_tbl’ with the help of PHP script in the following example −
<html>
<head>
<title>Creating MySQL Tables</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 TABLE tutorials_tbl";
mysql_select_db( 'TUTORIALS' );
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval ) {
die('Could not delete table: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Table deleted successfully
";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
</body>
</html>
