You could have a look at the maintainer scripts of mysql, they have to
deal with database upgrades.
I'm not sure if you want to be upgrading automatically, but you could
install a script that runs the php script as required and inform the
user they need to do it. Can you even know where all the databases are
on the system?
I may have some of this wrong, apologies in that case.
