Create a MySQL Database Using MySQLi and PDO

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

Note: You will need administrative privileges to create or delete a MySQL database.

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, $password); // Check connection if ($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: " . $conn->error;} // Close connection$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).Tip: If you have to use a specific port, add an empty string for the database-name argument, like this: new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "", port)

Example - MySQLi Procedural

<?php$servername = "localhost";$username = "username";$password = "password";// Create connection $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password); // Check connection if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());}// Create database $sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) { echo "Database created successfully";} else { echo "Error creating database: " . mysqli_error($conn);} // Close connectionmysqli_close($conn); ?>

Example - PDO

<?php$servername = "localhost";$username = "username"; $password = "password";try { $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password); // set the PDO error mode to exception $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); } catch(PDOException $e) { die("Could not connect. " . $e->getMessage());} try { $sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB"; $conn->exec($sql); echo "Database created successfully";} catch(PDOException $e) { // Handle errors during db creation echo "Error creating database: " . $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage(); } // Close connection$conn = null; ?>

Tip: PDO has an exception class to handle any problems that may occur in our database queries. If an exception is thrown within the try{ } block, the script stops executing and flows directly to the first catch(){ } block. In the catch block above we echo the SQL statement and the generated error message.
