Hey guys!I have an html form that I want to create a new table when submitted. Is there a way to use input fields in the form ($username, $email, etc) and create a table with it:"CREATE TABLE ('username', 'email')(various values)";Thanks! |

Terrible design - Why don't you keep a permanent table and have the user actions add rows to the table?Be One with the OptimizerTG |

Hey tg,Ya, I know the design is a bit different but in this case, I think it's necessary. I want to allow users to post picture albums and thought that using a few of the fields from the form to give each user a table would be more organized. Is there a better way to do it? |

It's not "a bit different" it's a terrible idea. How do you keep track of the dynamic tables you've created for a start? (and that's not going into the terrible performance implications of the requred (wholly dynamic) queries you'd have to use when referencing these tables.Surely, a static table called users and a table called albums with a foreign key to users and a table called pictures with a foreign key to albums would be a much better solution.-------------Charlie |
