Can't seem to create db

Tigress7 · #1 18-Aug-2003, 17:56

Help! I'm so stuck. I'm trying to create a table called users in mySQL thru PHP but it doesn't seem to work!

PHP Code:


<html>
<?php

mysql_connect('localhost','username','')or
die ("Couldnt connect to localhost");

   mysql_create_db("my_db12");

mysql_select_db("my_db12");

$query = "create table users (
            username varchar(12) NOT NULL primary key,
            password char(12) NOT NULL,
            firstName char(20) NOT NULL,
            lastName char(20) NOT NULL,
            email char(20) NOT NULL,
        
     )";


mysql_query($query) or die("Cannot Create the User Table!");

?>

</html>

It comes back with the Cannot create the user table statement.

Any ideas as to why it isn't working?
thanks so much!

Note:I'm using php vers 4.2.3 , is this the prob?

Welcome to GIDForums Tigress7.

Is your mySQL unpassworded? If not, your going to have to state the password somewhere for it to work right?

Hello Tigress7,

There are quite a few things that could be wrong. Like, is 'username' a valid user in MySQL's database? Have you (the root user) granted 'username' the corect permissions to 'create' a db/table?

It's difficult to troubleshoot if you don't explain your setup in detail.
