Hi everybody!!!
I want to create a new database using a form to take the name of the database. For some reason I get
"Couldn't create database". Can some body tell me what I am doing wrong...
<?
if (!$dname)
{
header("Location: http://localhost/db_createdb.html");
exit;
}
$db_name = $dname;
$connect = @mysql_connect("localhost", "jnava", "jnava77") or
die("Couldn't connect");
$result = mysql_create_db($db_name, $connect) or die("Couldn't create database.");
if ($result)
{
$msg = "<P>Database has been created!</P>";
}
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Create a MySQL Database</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<? echo "$msg"; ?>
<? echo "$connect"; ?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
