Searching MySQL table names

Question

Hello,
I would like to search
all of the table
names in a MySQL database using a simple HTML form and PHP.
I am stuck. I have attached the code I have so far. How do I apply
the search to just the table names in the database?
Thanks in advance,
John

Well, I told you it was untested. ;-) It was missing a
semicolon at the
end of the line preceding the inner foreach. I had also
neglected to print
the opening <table> tag. This one is tested and works:
$result=mysql_query("SHOW TABLES FROM sand2 LIKE '%$find%'")
or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){
while($table=mysql_fetch_row($result)){
print "<p style=\>Table: $table[0]</p>\n";
$r=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `$table[0]`");
print "<table>\n";
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($r)){
print "<tr>";
foreach($row as $field){
print "<td>$field</td>";
print "</tr>\n";
print "</table>\n";
}else{
print "None found";
