sql_showbase

The sql_showbase() function is used to obtain a resource that can be used with sql_fetch() detailing the tables that exist in the database.

It accepts 3 parameters:

  1. $spip empty by default, the parameter is used to list only the tables using the prefix defined for SPIP tables. Use '%' instead if you want to list ALL tables,
  2. $serveur,
  3. $option.

Usage:

if ($q = sql_showbase()) {
	while ($t = sql_fetch($q)) { 
		$table = array_shift($t);
		// ...
}

The sql_alltable function is generally easier to use, since it directly returns a PHP array listing the various database tables.
