MySQLi Table Exists

Question

In PHP, what would be the best way of seeing if a table exists?

This is what I am using so far

public function TableExists($table) {
    $res = $thi         


        

Answer 1

What you posted is going to throw an error if the table doesn't exist. Try this instead:

SHOW TABLES LIKE 'tablename';

And ensure that you get exactly one row back.
