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

$con = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password,$database);

if(mysqli_num_rows(mysqli_query($con,"SHOW TABLES LIKE 'accman'"))) {
  echo "DB EXIST";
} else {
  echo "DB Not Exist";
}
