[PHP] Checking if database has been setup
Hey, Sometime back i was checking out a script and it had a very useful little bit, in the scripts control panel there was a text link that said "click here to see if your database has been setup" when you click it, it will tell you if its setup or lauches the setup script to help you set it up. I think thats a pretty cool feature for someone who knows nothing about setting up a database and does not know if its setup or not. I can handle the setup in steps (the "setup wizard") but how do i check if the database/tables have been setup? (and my apoligies for using "setup" so many times :-p ) Any advise, urls or bits of code would be appreciated.
