MySQLi Table Exists

Question

In PHP, what would be the best way of seeing if a table exists?

This is what I am using so far

public function TableExists($table) {
    $res = $thi         


        

Answer 1

For seeing, if [table name] exist

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM information_schema.tables 
WHERE table_schema = '[database name]' 
AND table_name = '[table name]';
