You could have a look at the maintainer scripts of mysql, they have to deal with database upgrades. I'm not sure if you want to be upgrading automatically, but you could install a script that runs the php script as required and inform the user they need to do it. Can you even know where all the databases are on the system? I may have some of this wrong, apologies in that case.
