entire database from the server associated with the specified
linc identifier. This function is deprecated, it is preferable to use

to issue an sql
DROP DATABASE
statement instead.
database_name
linc_identifier
The MySQL connection. If the
linc identifier is not specified, the last linc opened by
mysql_connect()
is assumed. If no such linc is found, it
will try to create one as if

had been called
with no argumens. If no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNING
level error is generated.
