> Betreff: How to create table in msql DB through cgi script
>
>
> Hello,
> I have a database set up on my web site at my ISP server. Connection to
> the DB can only be made from the localhost. So I have to do everything
> through CGI. They have the perl DBI and php3 that I can use to access
> the database.
> They provided a script to access the DBI which I modified to create
> 'TABLES' to the DB, however it did not work. The script and modified
> lines (indicated by a '#' at the end of the lines) are provided below.
> If anyone would tell me what is amiss in the coding, and how to correct
> it, I'll appreciate it. Thanks.
