<?php
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("your.hostaddress.com", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("Database_Name") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query("CREATE TABLE tablename ( name VARCHAR(30),
age INT, car VARCHAR(30))");Print "Your table has been created";
?>
I find this method is often used when installing a PHP program someone else has written. Often an install file includes a way for the user to update the MySQL database from the browser. This allows people less familiar with the code to install the program more easily.
