% Thanks for the reply Bill, however this did not solve the problem. I

%
% 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ';
% CREATE TABLE Departments (
% DeptID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,' at line 4
You mentioned a
echo "<PRE>".$sql."</PRE><P>";
in your first post; what do you see?
%
% > Are you first creating a new database first with mysql_create_db()

%
% Yes. I am:
%
% $V2DB = "V2_SL".$CompanyID;
% $result = mysql_create_db($V2DB, $linkI);
% mysql_select_db ($V2DB, $linkI) or die ("Could not select ".$V2DB."
% Database");
That's good, and we'll assume for the moment that your script doesn't
error through to die but instead makes a successful connection.
By the way, I see you quoting around your variables like
print "This is " . $var . " here" ;
and should note that that's way much extra work. I just tested (to be
sure ;-) and
$v = "variable" ;
print "print : this includes $v right here<br>\n" ;
echo "echo : this includes $v right here<br>\n" ;
print "print : this quotes " . $v . " for me<br>\n" ;
echo "echo : this quotes " . $v . " for me<br>\n" ;
die ("die : This is $v for you<br>\n") ;
happily gives me
print : this includes variable right here
echo : this includes variable right here
print : this quotes variable for me
echo : this quotes variable for me
die : This is variable for you
as it oughta. But I digress...

How does it fail? Give us more detail.

%
% Yes, $linkI is my connection identifier.
%
% I just have an awful feeling that PHP/mySQL won't let me stack commands
% like that because if I just do one table, like this:
%
% $sql = <<<SQL
% CREATE TABLE Schedule (
...
% SQL;
%
% It "works". However I'm dreading doing this one table at a time. Grr.
No, that doesn't make sense. It shouldn't matter how you create and
populate the variable, as long as the end result content is the same.
Since it works when you lay it out manually, it seems very probable that
your filling it out in steps has some problems.
Show us what you get when you print your $sql statement so that we can
debug actual practice rather than theory ;-)
HTH & HAND
