mysql_list_tables() takes a
database name and returns a result pointer much like the
mysql_query() function. Use the
mysql_tablename() function to traverse this result
pointer, or any function for result tables, such as
mysql_fetch_array().
The database parameter
is the name of the database to retrieve the list of tables
from. Upon failure,
mysql_list_tables() returns
FALSE.
For downward compatibility, the function alias named mysql_listtables() can be used. This is
deprecated however and is not recommended.

mysql_tablename().
