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().

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
