How to Rename a MySQL Table Using PHP
In this article, we show how to rename a MySQL table using PHP.
We rename a table using PHP to write the MySQL query to rename the table.
So the above is the MySQL code to rename a table named Java to PHP.
So the original name of the table is Java and we rename the table to PHP. The table will now be called PHP.
We'll now show how to tie this in completely with the full PHP code to rename a table.
So, first, we must connect to the database.
After we do this, we create a variable named $rename. This $rename variable is set equal to a mysql_query() function that has the parameter "ALTER TABLE Java RENAME TO PHP". This renames the existing table Java in our database to PHP.
If the table name is entered into a variable, instead of putting the table name directly into the DROP TABLE query statement, put the variable instead.
nd this is all that is needed to rename a MySQL table using PHP.
