Database creation

Create a MySQL Database Using MySQLi and PDO

The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a database in MySQL.

The following examples create a database named "myDB":

Example (MySQLi Object-oriented)

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

// Create connection$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connectionif ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 

// Create database$sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error creating database: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>

	Note: When you create a new database, you must only specify the first three arguments to the mysqli object (servername, username and password).
