Table Data
These functions let you fetch table information.
$this->db->list_tables();
Returns an array containing the names of all the tables in the database you are currently connected to. Example:
$tables = $this->db->list_tables();
foreach ($tables as $table)
{
echo $table;
}
$this->db->table_exists();
Sometimes it's helpful to know whether a particular table exists before running an operation on it. Returns a boolean TRUE/FALSE. Usage example:
if ($this->db->table_exists('table_name'))
{
// some code...
}
Note: Replace table_name with the name of the table you are looking for.
