Perhaps I'm just a extreme noobie... which wouldn't be half wrong... but can't u just use this to check for a database: function mysql_dbcheck($connectionscript, $needle) { mysql_connect($connectionscript) or die("Could not connect to database"); $dbpresent=mysql_select_db($needle); mysql_close($connectionscript); return($dbpresent); } Shouldn't this work because of the fact that mysql_select_db returns false if it can't find it, therefore the database isn't there? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-list-tables.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32599 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32599&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32599&report=yes
