    <p>I am not too sure why you need to have so many columns inside your table. A better solution might to have $tableName only have two columns, one for the slot, and the other that defines how many slots the table will have.</p> <p>The <code>slot</code> column will then be set as <code>auto_increment</code> inside MySQL, which means each time a row is added to the database, the number increments.</p> <p>The next table, will include all of the data that was originally in the the other columns. It would have three columns, the <code>slot</code> column, the <code>position</code> column (which would replace the B$x columns from the original table) and the <code>value</code> column, where the TEXT data is placed.</p> <p>This makes your database relational (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model</a>)</p> <p>You can then do a LEFT JOIN on the two tables to retrieve all of the data (<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp</a>)</p> <hr> <p>That being said, for your current solution, you would simply need to change some of your code.</p> <pre><code>if(isset($_GET["slot"])){ $tableName = $_GET["slot"]; $db = $_GET["db"]; } //getting the slot count if (isset($_GET['slots'])) { $slots = (int)$_GET['slots']; } if (!isset($slots) or !isset($tableName)) { echo "Please first provide the right data to this script!"; exit; } // Create the table $_columns = array(); for ($i = 1; $i &lt;= $slots; $i++) { $_columns[] = "B$i TEXT NOT NULL "; } $sql = "CREATE TABLE $tableName ( Slot int NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(Slot), " . implode( ', ', $_columns) . " )"; </code></pre>

    1. COif (isset($_GET['slots'])) { $slots = (int)$_GET['slot']; } What does this line do here?

    2. COIt gets the slots from the URL (ie, how many 'B' columns you want) So, if you wanted B1=>B10, you would use the URL ?slot=mynewtable&slots=10

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
