How to get database name in wordpress?

Question

I want to get the name of the WordPress database. I am also trying to get the database name from $wpdb , but failed. When you print $ wpdb, it gives an array of objects, but I don't know how to get the database name from an array of objects.

Answer 1

you can get your db name anywhere using

  <?php echo DB_NAME; ?> <?php echo DB_USER; ?> 

or

To get the db name with $ wpdb:

 global $wpdb; echo $wpdb->dbname; 

It will return the database name as a string.

Answer 2

You can get the database name by the constant DB_NAME. You can check by printing it

 <?php echo DB_NAME; ?>
