Table Data

These functions let you fetch table information.

$this->db->list_tables();

Returns an array containing the names of all the tables in the database you are currently connected to. Example:

$tables = $this->db->list_tables();



foreach ($tables as $table)

{

   echo $table;

}

Sometimes it's helpful to know whether a particular table exists before running an operation on it. Returns a boolean TRUE/FALSE. Usage example:


if ($this->db->table_exists('table_name'))

{

   // some code...

}

Note: Replace table_name with the name of the table you are looking for.
