You didn't mention what DBMS you are running... Assuming it is MySQL, check page 686 in the PHP Manual, you're looking for mysql_list_tables() Enjoy... -----Original Message----- From: ~BD~ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 9:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Really embarassing newbie question... Sorry to do this to ya... I"ve been involved with PHP for a total of two days now, and I'm kinda stumped. I've been looking in docs for about 4 hours now for this, and I'm sure I'm slipping right by the obvious answer somewhere, but.... What's the best (recommended) way to determine if a table exists in a database? Is it to try a query on it, and check the returned error? that's the way I'm set up now, but I can't help but think there's got to be a better way...
