KevinM1 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 1. Are you sure you want to create a new table in this code? Is this page going to be viewed more than once by the same user(s)? If so, you should create the table manually, through whatever database management system you have access to (phpMyAdmin?), and only let the PHP script insert/update data. 2. Where do $websites and $destination come from?

J.Daniels Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 What isn't working? I can see one problem. There is a syntax error: $query="CREATE TABLE websitestable (websites varchar(100) NOT NULL,destination varchar(50) NOT NULL) should be: $query="CREATE TABLE websitestable (websites varchar(100) NOT NULL,destination varchar(50) NOT NULL)"; However, that query will fail after the first time the script is run since the table will already be created.
