I am fairly new to PDO and MySQL and am running into a weird problem. I've looked in many PDO and MySQL threads but nobody seemed to have this exact problem.
After I create the database, new mysql new user, a table and a few columns, I am unable to use INSERT INTO to populate the database. PDO throws the following Error:
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'cms01db.cms_settings' doesn't exist
If I look in PHPMyAdmin, the database exists, the table and columns exist, collation is correct etc. If I then drop the table in PHPMyAdmin and recreate it manually in there, with exactly the same specs, I can use the very same INSERT INTO script and it works just fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Script to create the Database:
// define server and root login
$servername = 'localhost';
$username = 'root';
// define new user for new database and login password
$newUser = 'admin';
$newPass = 'password';
$dbname = 'cms01db';
// create database
try {
// connect to mysql and login
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername", $username);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
// setup command to create database, new user and asign to new database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE `$dbname` CHARACTER SET ascii COLLATE ascii_general_ci;
CREATE USER '$newUser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$newPass';
GRANT ALL ON `$dbname`.* TO '$newUser'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;";
// use exec() because no results are returned
$conn->exec($sql);
echo "Database created successfully<br>";
}
// if shit goes wrong...
catch(PDOException $e)
{
// display error why
echo $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage();
}
// terminate db connection
$conn = null;
Script to create the table and columns:
// login with new user and create database tables & columns
try {
// connect to mysql and login
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $newUser, $newPass);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
// sql to create table and columns
$sql = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cms_setings;
CREATE TABLE cms_setings (
measurements VARCHAR(1) NOT NULL,
brasizes VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL,
shoesizes VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL
)";
// use exec() because no results are returned
$conn->exec($sql);
echo "CMS Settings Table created successfully<br>";
}
// if shit goes wrong...
catch(PDOException $e)
{
// display error why
echo $sql . "<br>" . $e->getMessage();
}
// terminate db connection
$conn = null;
Script to INSERT INTO:
//prepare variables
//measurements: 'm' for metric, 'i' for inches
$measurements_data = 'i';
//brasizes: 'us' for USA/Canada, 'uk' for UK, 'aus' for Australia, 'eu' for Europe, 'bef' for Belgium/Spain/France
$brasizes_data = 'us';
//shoesizes: 'us' for USA/Canada, 'uk' for UK, 'eu' for Europe, 'jap' for Japan
$shoesizes_data = 'us';
// login and insert data into columns
try {
// connect to mysql and login
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $newUser, $newPass);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
// sql to create insert data
$sql = "INSERT INTO cms_settings (measurements,brasizes,shoesizes) VALUES (:measurements,:brasizes,:shoesizes)";
//prepare the statement
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
// execute statement
$stmt->execute(array(':measurements' => $measurements_data,
':brasizes' => $brasizes_data,
':shoesizes' => $shoesizes_data));
echo "CMS Setting Populated Successfully<br>";
}
// if shit goes wrong...
catch(PDOException $e)
{
// display error why
echo $sql . "<br>Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
// terminate db connection
$conn = null;

In your code you have a misspelling. Change the line
CREATE TABLE cms_setings (
to
CREATE TABLE cms_settings (
