You don't create a table "via PHP", you simply pass a query through the
mysql_query() function. If that query is a CREATE TABLE, then a table
will be created. It can also be a INSERT, SELECT, SHOW, UPDATE, etc...
All you're doing is passing a string through mysql_query() that MySQL is
going to attempt to run as a query.
So, for you, you'd need to use:
Mysql_query("CREATE TABLE ... ");
Mysql_query("INSERT INTO ... VALUES ... ");
Fill in the blanks... Now, if you have all of these queries in a file,
there may be an easier way to automate all of this, but you'll be doing
the same thing, essentially. You can only pass one query at a time with
mysql_query().
