Can you DROP TABLE IF EXISTS by specifying database name with table?

mysql, php, sql-drop

Solution

mysql_query('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `dbName`.`tableName`') or die(mysql_error());

Problem

I am trying to drop a table in a database with the following query statement: ``` mysql_query('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "dbName.tableName"') or die(mysql_error()); ``` But I keep getting an error. Does anyone know if specifying the dbName.tableName is invalid?
