mysql_tablename

Get table name of field

Warning

This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

SQL Query: SHOW TABLES

Description

string mysql_tablename ( resource $result , int $i )

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.

Parameters

result: A result pointer resource that's returned from mysql_list_tables.
i: The integer index (row/table number)

Return Values

The name of the table on success or FALSE on failure.

Use the mysql_tablename function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array.

Changelog

Version	Description
5.5.0	The mysql_tablename function is deprecated, and emits an `E_DEPRECATED` level error.

Examples

Example #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);
?>

Notes

Note:
The mysql_num_rows function may be used to determine the number of tables in the result pointer.
