php - problem with setting up mysql db/table

Im having the most frustrating time trying to figure this out, this script runs great on my private (WAMP) server but not on my hosting server (LAMP). The script is pretty simple, creates a database with a table of 6 fields:

Code:

---

<?php

$host = "127.0.0.1";
$username = "my_username";
$pwd = "my_password";

if (mysql_connect($host, $username, $pwd))
{
        $query = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS weup";
        //execute query
        if (mysql_query($query))
        {
            print "Database created successfully!<br />";
            //must select db before creating table
            if (@mysql_select_db("weup"))
            {
              $query = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS applications(appname VARCHAR(25),
 description VARCHAR(200), applink VARCHAR(50), authname VARCHAR(50), authage INT, authloc VARCHAR(40))";
                //create the table
                if (mysql_query($query)) print "Table created successfully!";
                else print "Error creating table";
            }
        } else print "Error creating database";
        mysql_close();
} else print "Unable to connect to " . $host;

?>

You haven't stated which part of it fails.

oh im sorry. specifically the 'mysql_query($query)' is whats not working. I know the actual string is good so am i executing it wrongly?

Which one?

Also...you have a @ in front of mysql_select_db(). That tells it to suppress errors. You might not get a good log report that way.

both of them, so right now i'm getting outputted "error creating database". and if i take out that first "if(mysql_query())" and just have "mysql_query", then on the next query i get "Error creating table". so basically both

Code:

---

if (mysql_query($query))

---

are coming back negative.

So copy the exact query string into phpMyAdmin. See what that returns.

hey guys, thanks for the replies. after running it through phpMyAdmin I realized the problem had to do with my hosting server not the code.
