Drop table from a database

[Anon]

Hey there; i need some help dropping a table from a database. I use the following line after connecting to mysql and selecting the database, but it gives me a parse error. Any help would be appreciated.

drop table $table_name;

Thanks in advance.

You need to call it with the appropriate database function:

mysql_query("DROP TABLE $table_name");

You also need the correct permissions as the user but that woudn't generate a parse error.
