The mysql_num_rows() function may be used to determine the number of tables in the result pointer. Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password");

$result = mysql_list_tables("mydb");

  echo "Table: ", mysql_tablename($result, $i), "\n";

}



mysql_free_result($result);
