Php script to optimize my databases; what's wrong with it?

[system]

I was referring to the structure of your code more than anything.

Also, I’m not psychic, so without you explicitly saying WHY you were using the mysql_ functions, how am I supposed to know?

It’s more about the structure of your code that bothers me though. Why no oop? Why not use models to access your data? Why are you outputting html from within your php?

On a larger scale, this code would be virtually impossible to maintain.

Anyway, I can’t be bothered discussing stuff like this with someone with a negative attitude to improvement.

I care very much about quality. You do not seem to have taken into account the fact that I felt FORCED to try using ‘mysql_’ functions because there is no ‘mysqli_’ equivalent to ‘mysql_list_dbs’ (or if there is, I’ve failed to find it, and no-one has made any suggestion). Now ‘mysql_list_dbs’ may be the most appallingly awful function ever devised, and that may be why there’s no ‘mysqli_’ equivalent. but no-one’s actually said that.

You’ve been quick to pour scorn on what has been posted, but not a single one of your comments has actually been technically helpful. I don’t intend to continue this unedifying slanging match, so I’m going to unsubscribe from this thread.
