## Example

`

     resource mysql_list_tables ( string $database [, resource $link_identifier ] )

`

## Description

Retrieves a list of table names from a MySQL database. This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue an SQL SHOW TABLES [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern'] statement instead.

## Return Values

A result pointer resource on success or FALSE on failure. Use the mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array().
