mysql_list_dbs

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

Returns a result pointer containing the databases available from the
current mysql daemon.

The MySQL connection. If the
link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by
mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it
will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called
with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNING level warning is generated.

Returns a result pointer resource on success, or FALSE on
failure. Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse
this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as
mysql_fetch_array().
