The following is a snippet of code where I try to make a DB table.  I don't know how to troubleshoot table creation.  I am not getting any MySQL errors, but the table is not being created either.  Please help!  I have stayed up all night trying to figure this out ...

[code]<!-- connect to MySQL -->
<?php
$dbh=mysql_connect ("$serverurl", "$databasename", "$passofuser") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("$databasename");
?>

<!--create MySQL Table -->
<?php


$sql = "

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS 'users';

CREATE TABLE 'users' (

'users_id' int(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
'users_handle' varchar(20) default NULL,
'users_password' varchar (20) default NULL,
'users_email' varchar (40) default NULL,
'users_datejoined' timestamp NOT NULL,
'users_visits' int (6) default '0',
'users_lastvisit' timestamp NOT NULL,
'users_questionsanswered' int(6) default '0',
'users_correctanswers' int(6) default '0',
'users_percentcorrect' float (3,2) default '0',
'users_totalscore' default '0',
'users_pagesviewed' int(8) default '0',
'users_visitbonus' int(6) default '0',
'users_activity' int(6) default '0',
PRIMARY KEY('users_id'),
UNIQUE('users_handle')

) TYPE=MYISAM;"
?>
[/code]

[code]
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;

CREATE TABLE users (

users_id int(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
users_handle varchar(20) default NULL,
users_password varchar (20) default NULL,
users_email varchar (40) default NULL,
users_datejoined timestamp NOT NULL,
users_visits int (6) default 0,
users_lastvisit timestamp NOT NULL,
users_questionsanswered int(6) default 0,
users_correctanswers int(6) default 0,
users_percentcorrect float (3,2) default 0,
users_totalscore int(6) default 0,
users_pagesviewed int(8) default 0,
users_visitbonus int(6) default 0,
users_activity int(6) default 0,
PRIMARY KEY(users_id),
UNIQUE(users_handle)

) TYPE=MYISAM;[/code]

Take out ALL the single quotes, add a datatype to users_totalscore. The code I posted worked on my MySQL db.
