justsomeguy Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Free hosts typically don't let users create databases like that, you usually have to create a database through your host's control panel. Once the database is created then you should be able to connect with PHP and create tables if you want to do that, or else create the tables in the host control panel.
