62<h1>Table Data</h1>
63
64<p>These functions let you fetch table information.</p>
65
66<h2>$this->db->list_tables();</h2>
67
68<p>Returns an array containing the names of all the tables in the database you are currently connected to. Example:</p>
69
70<code>$tables = $this->db->list_tables();<br />
71<br />
72foreach ($tables as $table)<br />
73{<br />
74&nbsp;&nbsp; echo $table;<br />
75}
76</code>
77
78
79<h2>$this->db->table_exists();</h2>
80
81<p>Sometimes it's helpful to know whether a particular table exists before running an operation on it.
82Returns a boolean TRUE/FALSE. Usage example:</p>
83
84<code>
85if ($this->db->table_exists('table_name'))<br />
86{<br />
87&nbsp;&nbsp; // some code...<br />
88}
89</code>
90
91<p>Note: Replace <em>table_name</em> with the name of the table you are looking for.</p>
