Creating a table...name = string...


Recommended Posts

I\'m trying to create a table on a MySQL database using PHP.

 

I think I have my query right (don\'t have it on me at the moment), but it has CREATE TABLE $table

 

I want it to CREATE TABLE with the table being called whatever $table is currently at...for instance if I was doing a while loop with a counter, create a table named 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

 

Does SQL allow you to create a table while using a variable?

 

Could someone help? I\'m more than a little confused.

 

Fight on,

I can create tables and all kinds of happy stuff.

 

But it won\'t let me create tables where the table name is a variable...for instance, $table.

 

Instead, it creates a table called \"$table\".

 

Do CREATE TABLE statements in PHP not allow variables to be used?

 

Fight on,
