Are you using the same mysql username/password in the PHP script as you are in the mysql client? If you're logged into your unix box as root, and run the mysql client without any parameters, it'll try to connect to the db as 'root'. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Cheng [mailto:joncheng2000@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2001 10:25 PM To: cczona@nospam.invalid; php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: create tables in mysql with php?? I am using this; mysql_query("create table ".$course_array[$i]." (CourseID char(8) not null, CourseTitle varchar(40), CourseTime varchar(255) not null)"); I echo the string inside the mysql_query() brackets, and I copy and pasted into: mysql>create table csc (CourseID char(8) not null, CourseTitle mysql>varchar(40), CourseTime varchar(255) not null); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec) mysql> so putting it in manually works, but not from a query. Is there a silly syntactic error I am making? thanks, -Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "CC Zona" <cczona@nospam.invalid> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2001 9:55 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: create tables in mysql with php?? > In article <001901c122d1$6f5c1720$0200a8c0@joncheng>, > joncheng2000@yahoo.com (Jon Cheng) wrote: > > > hello all, is there ANYWAY to create a new table in mysql with php? > > Sure.
