kingnutter Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm just getting back into php/mysql after a few months so apologies if I'm a bit rusty. I am putting together a site which allows users to create their own pages with all data stored in their own table(s). My question is, is it possible for the tables to be meaningfully named by the user e.g. generate a Mysql query within a php page along the lines of: CREATE TABLE $userCreatedTitle_data... I do hope this makes sense! Any help appreciated, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Possible? Yes. Good idea? Probably not because users may choose a name that already exists (and destroy part of your site), or use illegal character combinations, or choose a MySQL reserved word as a table name. Up to you, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
