SQL error when creating multiple tables - php

Question

I'm trying to create multiple tables with a query, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using PHP code to execute the query. Below is my PHP code, my query and my error.
My PHP code:
<?php
$conn=mysql_connect("localhost","secret","secret") or die("Kan geen verbinding maken met de DB server");
mysql_select_db("secret",$conn) or die("Kan database niet selecteren");
$query_file = 'tables.txt';
$fp = fopen($query_file, 'r');
$sql = fread($fp, filesize($query_file));
fclose($fp);
mysql_select_db('test_db');
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval )
{
die('Could not create table: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($conn);
?>
My query:
CREATE TABLE pages(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
pagid VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
title VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
content TEXT NOT NULL,
image VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
youtube VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
primary key ( id ));
CREATE TABLE members(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
primary key ( id ));
CREATE TABLE news(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
pagid VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
title VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
content TEXT NOT NULL,
image VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
youtube VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
date VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
primary key ( id ));
CREATE TABLE gallery(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
image VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
title VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
description TEXT NOT NULL,
url VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
category VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
primary key ( id ));
My error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CREATE TABLE members( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, username VARCHA' at line 10
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Try this:
$q1 = "CREATE TABLE pages(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
pagid VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
title VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
content TEXT NOT NULL,
image VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
youtube VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL)";
$q2 = "CREATE TABLE members(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
username VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL)";
mysql_query($q1);
mysql_query($q2);
If you're using mysql_query, it only supports one query at a time.
However, I would recommend you avoid using mysql_* functionality as its depreciated. Try mysqli or PDO

You're propably using mysql_query. The documentation explicitly states that multiple queries are not supported. As each of your create statements is an own query, you'll have to split up your query string.
