MySQLi – Create Database
Create Database Using mysqladmin
You would need special privileges to create or to delete a MySQL database. So assuming you have access to the root user, you can create any database using the mysql mysqladmin binary.
Example
Here is a simple example to create a database called TUTORIALS −
[root@host]# mysqladmin -u root -p create TUTORIALS Enter password:******
This will create a MySQL database called TUTORIALS.
Create a Database using PHP Script
PHP uses mysqli query() or mysql_query() function to create or delete a MySQL database. This function takes two parameters and returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Syntax
$mysqli→query($sql,$resultmode)
| Sr.No. | Parameter & Description | 
|---|---|
| 1 | $sql Required – SQL query to create a MySQL database. | 
| 2 | $resultmode Optional – Either the constant MYSQLI_USE_RESULT or MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT depending on the desired behavior. By default, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT is used. | 
Example
Try the following example to create a database −
Copy and paste the following example as mysql_example.php −
<html>
   <head><title>Creating MySQL Database</title></head>
   <body>
      <?php
         $dbhost = ''localhost
         $dbuser = ''root
         $dbpass = ''root@123
         $mysqli = new mysqli($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
         
         if($mysqli→connect_errno ) {
            printf("Connect failed: %s<br />", $mysqli→connect_error);
            exit();
         }
         printf(''Connected successfully.<br />'');
         if ($mysqli→query("CREATE DATABASE TUTORIALS")) {
            printf("Database TUTORIALS created successfully.<br />");
         }
         if ($mysqli→errno) {
            printf("Could not create database: %s<br />", $mysqli→error);
         }
         $mysqli→close();
      ?>
   </body>
</html>
Output
Access the mysql_example.php deployed on apache web server and verify the output.
Connected successfully. Database TUTORIALS created successfully.
