mysql - database that already exist?

[router]

In mysql, does it exist a function to check if there's already a database named like my new database, in order not to have errrors?
Some function that returns a boolean or something?
Thanks!

best to just do a test like:

if (mysql_select_db($db)) {
   // do regular stuff
} else {
   // create database since it doesn't exist
   mysql_query("create database stuff");
}

mysql_select_db returns false if it can't select the requested database. As long as your mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect don't throw an error, this should work just fine.

[hand]

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS dbname;

[router]

It works!!
Thank you very much!!!
