So you know that for a phpbb forum board to have different posts on the same server they have to be under different databases. Well i would like to know if the php could be programmed to create separate databases so it could automatically create a new forum board under the same server. Is it possible?

Anything you can do with SQL by hand, you can program PHP do to. All PHP does is send SQL queries to MySQL and optionally fetch returned data.

So you’re saying that there is a way for the php board to automatically created a new database every time it is asked to. I know This is also only possible if the server is configured to do so i think.

Other than user permissions, there is nothing to configure on the server for this.

The php manual (under the mysql api) saysd you can use mysql_create_db but you should issue an SQL command create database.

I would question why you want to do this, your explination about phpbb. If you want to create a completly new and seperate insall of phpbb you will need a new database, if you just want a new forum you can create that in an existing install.

If you had a seperate db for each forum you would have loads and loads and loads...

good luck
