Creating a Mysql dbase via php?

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could tell/show me how to create a mysql database via a php script as my hosts do not support telnet(dont ask). Example command lines would be a great help.

Thanks

You can pass any valid mysql command via the mysql_query() function. I don't recall the create db syntax right now, but you can look that up in the mysql manual. BTW, are you sure you have access to create DBs? I mean that's usually restricted on a shared system and since you don't have telnet....

You might want to look into the phpMyAdmin, too. Learning syntax is important for MySQL,
but sometimes the work just needs done URL
