Creating mysql table using php

Is my code way off base? I can't get a table
created using php.

$sql = "CREATE TABLE '$table'(
partno CHAR(10) NOT NULL,
descript CHAR(60) NOT NULL,
cost DOUBLE(10,5) NOT NULL,
user CHAR(15) NOT NULL,
modelno CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(partno))";

$result = MYSQL_QUERY($sql) or die
("Invalid create");

I don't think you need the apostrophe's (') around the table name. That could be what's messing it up.

Also, instead of using "or die" which doesn't give you any info, on the next line do this:

if (!$result){
print mysql_error();
exit;
}

This exits gracefully while still giving you the info you need to determine what went wrong.
