you have fetched just 1 row. fix like this:
while ( $tables = $result->fetch_array())
{
echo $tmp[0]."<br>";
}
and I think, information_schema would be better than SHOW TABLES
SELECT TABLE_NAME
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your database name'
while ( $tables = $result->fetch_assoc())
{
echo $tables['TABLE_NAME']."<br>";
}
