I would like to create a Table in a BBDD by variable in MYSQL. The problem i have is that the code doesn't work and I am not sure why.
$variable = "xxx_'".$_POST['idtour']."'_xxxx";
// Create the table
$sql = "CREATE TABLE $tourname (
id_leg VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Identificación de la leg del tour, en orden')";
//The action
mysqli_query($link,$sql) or die("Error ".mysqli_error());
I think is a problem with the "_".Any help will be fantastic.
The problem isn't the _
. It's the '
. "xxx_'".$_POST['idtour']."'_xxxx"
will result in xxx_'value'_xxxx
, as a possible table name, and '
is not valid in a table name. If you MUST include invalid characters, then you'll need to use the backtick operator.
$tablename = "`xxx_'".$var."'_xxxx`";
That should get you further towards your goal.
On a side note: creating a table based on a user-provided variable is a bad idea. It risks users being able to create some bizarre and destructive behavior, and very often it's better accomplished by adding a column to an existing table. Have you tried adding a column user_idtour
?
