mysql help please.

So far most tutorials I have used say, dump this code into your mysql manager,

CREATE TABLE shoutbox (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
message TEXT NOT NULL,
author VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
date VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
ip VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (id))

I would like to know how to do this through php.

$query="CREATE TABLE 'shoutbox' ('id' INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 'message' TEXT NOT NULL, 'author' VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL, 'email' VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, 'date' VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, 'ip' VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY('id'))";
mysql_query($query);

Basically the exact same as what you posted.

What does that code actually do?

[tekky]

creates that table 'shoutbox' in the SQL db and adds those appropriate fields with those specific datatypes and properties
