For my installation script, before I actually create a table I want to check if it already exists (and then drop/recreate or exit depending on what the user select earlier). So, I was woundering what is the easiest way to do this, I looked in the pho manual but the only functions I could find said they were deprecated so I figured it was probably not a good idea to use them, because of lack of support in future versions of PHP.
So, if anyone knows of a good way of doing this, it would be of great help. BTW I am working with MySQL.
TIA, Bryce
