mysql_create_db -- Create a MySQL database

## Description

``bool mysql_create_db` (string database name, resource [link_identifier])`

mysql_create_db() attempts to create a new database on the server associated with the specified link identifier.

Returns `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on failure.

Example 1. MySQL create database example
    <?php
        $link = mysql_pconnect("kron", "jutta", "geheim")
            or exit("Could not connect");
        if (mysql_create_db("my_db")) {
            print ("Database created successfully\n");
        } else {
            printf ("Error creating database: %s\n", mysql_error ());
        }
    ?>

For downwards compatibility mysql_createdb() can also be used. This is deprecated, however.
