MySQL database question

Recommended Posts

I know of the functionality of some of php's built-in functions that allow you to write to a file and if the file doesn't exist it will create it. I would like to do this same thing with a database. Most people just say to use phpMyAdmin to create the databases first but this seems a little convoluted and it seems to me I should be able to just write or find a php function that can create a database if and only if it isn't already created. I could use phpMyAdmin but does anyone know of way of doing what I want to do?

What do you need this for? I mean in any case it's much better not to have a function checking if the database exists every moment.

I don't really need it. I just wondered if it could be done. I don't need it to check every moment. Just every time I have to write something to a particular database.

You can use a query like this i think!!

CREATE DATABASE MyNewDatabase [IF NOT EXISTS];
