Jochem,
what is the context of the code you posted? ... in a function? class? part
of an app?
whats its purpose?
A singular, tutorial example I put together to show a basic way to connect and
write if the table exists, if not create table.
why do you need to check/create the table dynamically?
Newbie protection.
why do you think the way its done now is 'bad'?
I'm not that skilled. Just checking with real coders. I'm more of a
well-meaning academic who wants to share an idea with other teachers and show
them an easy, applicable example of sending score results to a mysql server.
It's part of a bigger tutorial:
http://compcanlit.usherbrooke.ca/eslcafe/hotpotatoes/hot-potatoes_104.htm
I'm still working on it.

Would anyone code/approach this differently?
#
$server = localhost;
$user = myname;
$pass = mypass;
$db = mydb;
$table = demo_assignment1;
#
$myconnection = mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
#
$sql = CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `demo_assignment1` (
`StudentNumber` varchar(8) NOT NULL default '',
`Exercise1` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`Exercise2` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`TimeStamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`TimeStamp`)
) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='place something here';;
mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection);
mysql_query($sql) or die(print mysql_error());
#
$sql = INSERT INTO $table
(StudentNumber,Exercise1,Exercise2) values
('$StudentNumber','$Exercise1','$Exercise2');
mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection);
mysql_query($sql) or die(print mysql_error());
mysql_close($myconnection);
