[vishal]

i have created one database in mysql. first i have created all tables
are of innodb type then i converted all tables to myisam type. i know
that for each myisam type table three files are created tablename.frm
tablename.myi and tablename.myd.

i have created database before one month. today i checked database and
i show somefiles exist in database folder named
(1)#sql-644_27.frm
(2)#sql-644_1.frm
(3)#sql-638_1.MYI
(4)#sql-638_1.MYD
(5)#sql-638_1.frm

What's your PHP question? BTW, don't you have MySQL manual?

If that happened to me my first approach would be browsing these tables
from my favourite MySQL client.

Temporary tables. These might be from CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE, or
they might be from a sorting operation (ORDER BY or GROUP BY),
or a copy-and-make-changes operation on a table (ALTER TABLE,
REPAIR TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE), or something else.

Normally these are deleted when they are no longer needed. If the
dates on these files are old, perhaps the server crashed while
they were in use.
