mysql_tablename

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_tablename — Get table name of field

Warning

This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:

SQL Query: SHOW TABLES

Description

Retrieves the table name from a result.

This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue an SQL SHOW TABLES [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern'] statement instead.

Return Values

The name of the table on success or [false](reserved.constants.php#constant.false) on failure.

Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().
