mysql_create_db() attempts to create a new

identifier.
Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.
Example 1. MySQL create database example <?php
$link = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")

For downwards compatibility mysql_createdb()
can also be used. This is deprecated, however.
Note:
The function mysql_create_db() is deprecated. It
is preferable to use mysql_query() to issue a
SQL CREATE DATABASE Statement instead.

mysql_query().
