itsallbroken Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi All, My 1st post so be gentle I'm trying to use the create table query to insert a new table into an sql database, with a standard string it inserts fine but i want to be able to insert tables with a - i.e. i will be creating tables like 'TSC-SA-01' The way i have it setup is the a form is used to enter the table name, this is then assigned to a variable and the variable is called in the query, i have looked online but can't see a way of doing this? Is it possible? Thanks in Advanced G Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167602-insert-into-create-table-query/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepson2 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 is that TSC-SA-01 is your table name?? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167602-insert-into-create-table-query/#findComment-883813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I don't think that you can create tables with an '-' in there name via php. Didn't test it yet, but I don't think so. with an underscore it works that for sure.

deepson2 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 As Miko said even i think we can not use '-' in the table name. try first with simple name. and let me know what you get.
