Allo René,

Depending on the command you used to dump the data, the table 
creation commands will already be in the mysqldump file. You can look 
at it with a text editor.

Your guess was almost right. :>  To bring the dump into your new 
database, just do:

mysql database_name -p < backup_file.sql

The '-p' will prompt for your password.

There's a bunch of good info in the manual about this. Check out 
"4.8.5 mysqldump, Dumping Table Structure and Data."

Not sure I understand this question.  What do you mean by "create a 
MySQL for my PHP?"
