Im sure the $db object has some error related methods that will give some information
as to the problem.

some ideas:

1. your using transaction and not commiting after the query
2. the user you connect as doesn't have 'create table' permissions
3. $stmt doesn't contain what you think it does.
4. the SQL is invalid (doesn't look like it though.)

no.2 seems most likely.
