MySQL Create DB
Creating a database in MySQL using PHP involves establishing a connection and executing the appropriate SQL query. Below is a step-by-step guide:
Create a Database
Example - MySQLi (Procedural)
Example - MySQLi Object-oriented
connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE mydatabase";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error creating database: " . $conn->error;
}
// Close connection
$conn->close();
?>
Note
The CREATE DATABASE SQL command is used to create the new database.
You can also create a database using the PDO extension:
Example - PDO
setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE mydatabase";
$conn->exec($sql);
echo "Database created successfully";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Error creating database: " . $e->getMessage();
}
// Close connection
$conn = null;
?>
