PHP : Function Reference : MySQL Functions : mysql_create_db

mysql_create_db

Create a MySQL database (PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
bool mysql_create_db ( string database_name [, resource link_identifier] )

Example 1418. mysql_create_db() alternative example

The function mysql_create_db() is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a sql CREATE DATABASE statement instead.

<?php
$link
= mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!
$link) {
   die(
'Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

$sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
if (
mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
   echo
"Database my_db created successfully\n";
} else {
   echo
'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Database my_db created successfully

mysql_create_db function will not work on cPanel hosting. If you need to create database from your PHP script on cPanel hosted server then you'll need to use cPanel interface. Database creation code would look like (calling cPanel's adddb function): http://USER:PASS@HOST:2082/frontend/SKIN/sql/adddb.html?db=DB
You can download ready-made sample php script from http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/cpanel-database-creator.php

for MySQL4.1 lib users;
as noted the function is a no-go for MySQL4.1 libs.  While i do not know the logic behind this i was relieved to see that
mysql_connect ("localhost","$user","$password")
$soru = 'CREATE DATABASE '.$dbname;
mysql_query($soru);
worked just fine...
