Creating a db with a query

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello everyone.
I'm having troubles creating a db with a query.
I'm reading a book called PHP Bibles from Tim Converse
I get this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_create_db() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/testing/10/ch22/weblog_db_create.php on line 8
Not sure why and help would be great.
Here is the code:
Code: <?php
// You'll probably have to be the root MySQL user to run this script.
// If you can't get that permission, you could alter the script below
// to create tables in your pre-existing database.
include("db_password.inc");

mysql_connect($hostname, $user, $password) or die("Failure to communicate");
$try_create = mysql_create_db("weblogs");
if ($try_create > 0) {
echo ("Successfully created database.<BR>n");
mysql_select_db("weblogs");
$query = "CREATE TABLE login (ID SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, username VARCHAR(20), password VARCHAR(20))";
$result = mysql_query($query);
// Since we're not using the standard MySQL
// date format, store date as an integer
$query2 = "CREATE TABLE mylog (ID SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, date INT(8), blogtext TEXT)";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
mysql_close();
if ($result > 0 && $result2 > 0) {
echo ("Successfully created tables<BR>n");
} else {
echo ("Unable to create tables.");
}
} else {
echo ("Unable to create database");
}
?>
