How To Create a New Table?

If you want to create a table, you can run the CREATE TABLE statement as shown in the following sample script:

  include "mysql_connection.php";                        
                                                         
  $sql = "CREATE TABLE fyi_links ("                      
      . " id INTEGER NOT NULL"                           
      . ", url VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL"                     
      . ", notes VARCHAR(1024)"                          
      . ", counts INTEGER"                               
      . ", time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()"   
      . ")";                                             
  if (mysql_query($sql, $con)) {                         
    print("Table fyi_links created.\n");                 
  } else {                                               
    print("Table creation failed with error:\n");        
    print(mysql_errno($con).": ".mysql_error($con)."\n");
  }                                                      
                                                         
  mysql_close($con);                                     
?>                                                       

Remember that mysql_query() returns TRUE/FALSE on CREATE statements. If you run this script, you will get something like this:

 Table fyi_links created.
