I have no issues with the query in the below code. But the second code is throwing the 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 '' at line 1

Working code :

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "","") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("") or die(mysql_error());

$result ="  CREATE TABLE google_csv(
    ÿþName varchar(80),

echo $result;

mysql_query($result);
echo mysql_error();
?>

Error producing code;

<?php

// GENERATE TABLE FROM FIRST LINE OF CSV FILE

$inputFile = 'google.csv';
$tableName = 'google_csv';

$fh = fopen($inputFile, 'r');
$contents = fread($fh, 5120); // 5KB
fclose($fh);

$fileLines = explode("\n", $contents);

$fieldList = explode(',', $fileLines[0]);

$lastField=count($fieldList)-1;

echo "Total Fields :".count($fieldList)."<br>";

echo "Last Field :".$lastField."<br>";

$result ="CREATE TABLE $tableName(";

for($i = 0; $i < count($fieldList); $i++)

    if(preg_match('/[1-9]/', $fieldList[$i]))

    {$result .=str_replace(array(" ",'-'),"_",$fieldList[$i]). ' int(11)';}

    }
}

$result .=")";

if ($result) {echo $result."<br>".$i."<br>";} else {Echo "Some Problem!";}

mysql_connect("localhost", "","") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query($result);

echo mysql_error();

?>

I am using the $result output from here in the first code and it works perfectly fine! Where am I going wrong in the second code?

Echo the problematic query that the second code generates and post it. Also enclose field names within backticks since there might be a possibility that the generated field name is a mysql keyword.

i need help with the codes of the calculator
how to code % and the squareroot
