Help with PDO Create Table for mysql


Go to solution Solved by markschum,

Hello all,

 

I created a database for a website using PHPAdmin and I now am trying to make some php files to create the database and tables as a backup to allow anyone to recreate the site.

 

I have the create database code working.

The Create table using pdo fails with a message saying I have an sql error.

 

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 18 in C:\wamp\www\create_table.php on line 33

 

This is my code , cobbled together from various examples. I dont see the error and have tried combinations of quotes  around the table name and the field names.  I had also removed the NOT NULL from the rn field. None of it worked.

 

There was a charset and collation line at the end that I have removed.

 

The auto increment field was added to make deletions easier by avoiding using every field in the delete where statement.

 

Any comments appreciated.

 

Is there a good tutorial on using pdo, I find the php manual very difficult to follow for determining what I need to do overall.

<?php
// create database table 
// database trial   table new 
$dns = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=trialdb';
$user = 'root';
$pass = '';
$opt = array(
    PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE            => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC );


$db = new PDO($dns, $user, $pass, $opt); 

$sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  new  
(
rn 	int(6)  NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,  	  	 
type 	varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
material varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
ring 	varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
finish 	varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
font 	varchar(20) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
text 	varchar(20) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
name 	varchar(20) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
address varchar(40) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
city 	varchar(20) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
zipcode varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
email 	varchar(40) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
style 	varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
orderdate 	varchar(10) 	NOT NULL, 	  	 
ip 	varchar(20) 	NOT NULL,
)" ;

$sq = $db->query($sql);

if ($sq) {
	echo 'created';
}
?>
