How to find out tables and field from database in MySQL

I am working on a MySQL based project, in which I have 57 tables in my database. I need to find table/tables and field from database on basis of stored data.

I want to describe my problem here.

Let I have data "value1" in a field in one of 57 tables of my database, I just know there is data "value1" somewhere in my database, now on basis of "value1" I want to find out

1) Which table "value1" exist. 2) For which field this data is been stored.

I am hopeful you got things I am looking for. Thanks in advance :)

You should take a look at below link.

http://code.google.com/p/anywhereindb/

OR

<?php  
    $search_word = 'new.example.com';
    mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);

    $connection = mysql_connect('localhost','root','')or die(mysql_error());
    $database   = mysql_select_db('stackoverflow')or die(mysql_error());

    $sql = "SHOW TABLES FROM stackoverflow";
    $tables_result = mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_query());



    echo "Look for '$search_word'\n\n";
    while ($table = mysql_fetch_row($tables_result))
    {
        echo "Table: {$table[0]}\n";
        //serach query for tables $table[0]     
    }
    mysql_free_result($tables_result);  
?>

use mysqli_* or PDO because mysql_* is deprecated.
