metaDatabases

Syntax

mixed metaDataBases(){}

Description

The function metaDatabases() returns a list of the databases visible to the connected user. If the driver does not support the command then it returns false. Visibility of a database does not assume any rights are available to the connected user.

Usage

The data is returned as a numeric array with the visible databases in lower case. Whenever possible, system databases are excluded.

/*
 * Connection to MySQL database assumed
 */
$d = $db->metaDatabases();
print_r($d);
/*
 * returns Array
          (
          [0] => piwik
          [1] => test
          [2] => world
          [3] => user_database
)
