Hi revDAVE
You'll simplify your life dramatically by using one database and one
connection per application. If you're not going to do that, you can make
sure the table is there in PHP with something like:
function check_table_exists($tablename) {
$sqlresult=mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE $tablename");
if (mysql_num_rows($sqlresult)==1) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
