[SOLVED] best way to create table

[ohdang888]

ok. so i want to create a "related games" section, that will randomly pull 8 values from a table in my database.

 

but first of all, whats the best way to create the table? make a "create a table" code and upload once, or manually create the table in PHPadmin???

What ever you prefer.

 

If you have access to PHPMyAdmin, that would be easier.

i'm confused as how to do it though.

 

i've created a table called

"test"

i only want the name of the game to show.... so would i only create 1 field?

and whats are attributes and collations?

AND... is "length/values", the max amount of characters allowed in a field?

If you only want 1 field, then just create the one field, use a VARCHAR and the length is how many characters you want the field to be.
