Re: mysql problem- I know it isn't strictly php

That last line always causes me problems, I think it is probably a difference in versions of mysql. Just change the last line to: ); without any of the text in their. It doesn't really do much anyway. Ross wrote:

Hi all, I am trying to create a table on the remote server but it never seems to work CREATE TABLE sheet1 ( id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, title varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', fname varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', sname varchar(255) default NULL, job_title varchar(255) default NULL, organisation varchar(255) default NULL, email varchar(255) default NULL, street varchar(255) default NULL, city varchar(255) default NULL, postcode varchar(255) default NULL, office_tel varchar(255) default NULL, mobile varchar(255) default NULL, fax varchar(255) default NULL, web varchar(255) default NULL, add_info varchar(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=303 ; There seems to be a problem with the last line (this is exported from my local server). I am just learning about mySql as I go so have no real clue about CHARSET and ENGINE (which I believe may be the problem) This is the error 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=303' at line 18 and this is what the manual says (not very helpful) a.. Error: 1064 SQLSTATE: 42000 (ER_PARSE_ERROR) Message: %s near '%s' at line %d Any help will be appreciated. R.
