Thanks-- i got that going-GREAT ! now i have a form that creates the database and tables, any ideas how i can get this info to change the connect_db file so that it doesnt have to be done manually.
See fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose(): http://php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
Not sure exactly what you're doing, but having PHP (via http) use a mysql account with create privileges and write your configuration files is a gaping security hole - fine for a personal/internal/ephemeral/testing project, but terrible security practice for any application or site that faces the outside world.
