Creating database in mysql using php

Question

Can I create database using php code for free hosted/domain plans. (Hostinger).

If so what to write in $db_name

$db_name = "profile"; OR $db_name = " cpannel username_profile";

For CREATE DATABASE $db_name

I tried but it get connected. At the time creating database it says access denied.

Could not create database: Access denied for user 'user'@'192.168.0.%' to database 'TUTORIALS'

Answer 1

from the error message, it looks like your user 'user' doesn't have privileges to create tables. have you granted him privileges to do that?

you didn't mention a database, but to grant most privileges to a user, you could do it like this in mysql:

GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER,INDEX ON *.* TO 'user'@'%'

hope this helps.

Answer 2

If you are using free domains, they will not allow you to create the database with PHP as giving permission for that may result in deletion/addition of databases from other users too.
