How to get list of table names from database in mysql?

Hi friends,

I got the requirement to display the list of table names from the database using php code. I got the solution for it, once check the below code.

1) Connect to database:

mysql_connect(“dbserver”,”dbuser”,”dbpassword”);

2)Get the list of tables from table

$result = mysql_list_tables(“dbname”);

3) Count the total number of tables

$num_tables = mysql_num_rows($result);

3) Display the tables names

for($i=0;$i<$num_rows;$i++)

{

echo  “Table : <b>”.mysql_tablename($result,$i).”</b>”;

}

mysql_free_result($result);

In this way we can the total table names from the database.
