Is it possible to create new database with no initial values through PHP?

[fuse3k]

As the subject suggests, I'm trying to run a query through PHP to create a brand new database with no initial values. The values will be included after loading a .sql file into the said database.

I though this would of worked:

<?php

require_once('../mysql_connect.php') // Open MySQL Connection

$query = "CREATE DATABASE '{$_POST['db_name_input']}'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

?>

...but apparently not. It doesn't return any errors, just doesn't create the new database. Am I doing something wrong or is creating a database through PHP not possible?

$query = 'CREATE DATABASE ' . $_POST['db_name_input'];

[fuse3k]

yea still nothing, this is the revised code I'm trying:

<?php

// set your infomation.
$dbhost='localhost';
$dbusername='fuse3k';
$dbuserpass='********';
$dbname='fuse3k_test';

// connect to the mysql database server.

$connect = mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbusername, $dbuserpass);

// create the database.

$query1 = 'CREATE DATABASE ' . $dbname;
$query2 = 'GRANT ALL ON ' . $dbname . '.* TO fuse3k@localhost';


$result1 = mysql_query($query1);
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);

echo ($result1 . " - " . $result2);

?> 

Both $result and $result2 return "".

$dbhost='localhost';
$dbusername='fuse3k';
$dbuserpass='********';
$dbname='fuse3k_test';

$connect = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbusername, $dbuserpass);
if ($connect) {echo 'connect OK<br>';}
else {exit(mysql_error());}

$query1 = 'CREATE DATABASE ' . $dbname; 
$query2 = 'GRANT ALL ON ' . $dbname . '.* TO fuse3k@localhost'; 

$result1 = @mysql_query($query1);
$result2 = @mysql_query($query2);

if ($result1) {echo 'query1 OK<br>';}
else {exit(mysql_error());}

if ($result2) {echo 'query2 OK<br>';}
else {exit(mysql_error());}

[fuse3k]

Okay well that returns:

connect OK
Access denied for user: 'fuse3k@localhost' to database 'fuse3k_test'

I'm logging with the same details I use to login to Shell (this is root login for my account on the virtual server), not a username I've created for the database specifically. How could I possibly receive an access denied error?

Thanks for your help.
