So you want a script that bypasses the securitysettings of your
hostingcompany?

------------

script must reconfigure/rewrite only settings that's responsible for
blocking of creating mySQL database programmatically, i.e. normal way.
Elementary. Is this clear enough?

You can make a script to create a database. But you can't make a script
which will hack the host's security settings.

Yes. You want to hack your free host's security settings.

And if it could do that, there wouldn't be much sense to even having
security settings, would there?

You probably can't find it because it doesn't exist. Security is there
for a reason.

Locking your door doesn't do any good if you hand keys to everyone.

Not a problem. Here are some links to get you started:

For the SQL you need:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/...-database.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/...ate-table.html

And optionally:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/...ate-index.html
From the PHP end, check out:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...-create-db.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...-select-db.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-close.php

And for error processing, you'll want:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-error.php

This should get you started.

Are you running this on the server with MySQL installed? If so, it
looks like MySQL isn't running or the admin has it set up different from
the defaults.

Either way the only one who can tell you more is your hosting company.

m.- Hide quoted text
That's actually a very helpful and friendly error message. It first
tells you why it failed. Then it tells you which machine is responsible
for the failure. Even further, it tells you what it expects that
machine to be responsible for. It tells you the full path to the
script. It also tells you the script's name and the line number of the
problem statemetns.

This shows you what PHP thinks is installed. It may or may not match
the real installation, and even if it does match it doesn't mean MySQL
is currently running.

If MySQL support were not enabled, you would have gotten an "unknown
function" error message. But just because it's enabled doesn't mean it
works.
