mysql_query "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS"

[The Little Guy]

If I run this:

mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `{$this->db['db']}`", $this->tdb);

 

Will mysql_query() return true or false if the database already exists?

 

I can not run this on my server due to permissions.

I can not run this on my server due to permissions.

 

then mysql_query is going to produce an error....

 

Will mysql_query() return true or false if the database already exists?

no

If the database exists it will return true and if it does not exist and it is able to create it successfully it will return true.  Otherwise it will return false.
